Tribology is the study of interacting surfaces in relative motion and encompasses the fields of friction, lubrication and wear. It impacts nearly every aspect of our daily lives and is essential to technological applications with moving parts. Tribology is by nature a highly interdisciplinary field. Researchers address atomic interactions at sliding interfaces and earthquake dynamics on tectonic faults. Applications include improving car engines, hip joints and cosmetics, shrinking devices to micrometer and nanometer scales, and expanding the range of temperatures, speeds, and chemical environments where devices operate. The Gordon Conference on Tribology has a long tradition of bringing together researchers with a wide range of backgrounds, techniques, and applications for lively discussions and exchange of new ideas on how to address the complex problems tribology presents.
