In article number 1800157 , Xiaowei Li, Aiying Wang, and Kwang‐Ryeol Lee report that introducing alpha olefins (AOs) into an a‐C/a‐C sliding interface lowers friction. A transformation of interfacial structure and the dissociation of AOs is revealed. In consequence, the friction mechanism differs with the type of AO. Disclosing the scission sites of the AOs provides a guide for designing improved lubricants.
