Welcome...

...To the Nanoscale Tribology laboratory at the Physics Department of North Carolina State University, supported by the National Science Foundation, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Department of Energy. Nanotribology is the study of friction, wear and lubrication at atomic length and time scales.

"As the need to conserve both energy and raw materials becomes increasingly urgent, our rush to understand basic frictional processes can only be expected to accelerate"

Jacqueline Krim, Professor of Physics
