DIRECTORS:
- Dr. Andrea Vanossi, CNR-IOM DEMOCRITOS Simulation Center & SISSA, Trieste, Italy
- Prof. Susan Perkin, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK
- Prof. Nicola Manini, Physics Department, University of Milan, Italy
- Prof. Erio Tosatti (local organizer), CNR-IOM DEMOCRITOS Simulation Center & SISSA & ICTP, Italy
The scientific focus will be on novel conceptual and experimental trends, such as:
- The nonlinear nature of sliding friction: from stick-slip motion to superlubric regimes
- Controlling and tuning friction, adhesion and wear at the nanoscale
- Tribology of confined systems and lubricants under shear
- Fundamentals of friction theory
- Tribology in electrochemical conditions
- Electronic and magnetic friction
- Atomistic friction of graphene, nanotubes and layered materials
- Nanomanipulation and dynamics of clusters and nano-objects at surfaces
- Collective mechanisms in friction across the time and length scales
- Bio-mimetic friction and adhesion
- Novelties in experimental and computational nanotribology
- Tribology research towards innovation and novel technologies
- Developments in macroscopic tribology: granulars, earthquakes, fracture, plasticity
- The nonlinear nature of sliding friction
