Welcome to the Krim Nanoscale Tribology Group!

J. Krim, 1998, Northeastern University, Boston, MA

Supported by the National Science Foundation,
the Nanoscale Tribology Group studies friction, wear, and lubrication at the 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.
