Nanotribology is a branch of tribology that studies friction, wear, adhesion, and lubrication at the nanoscale, where atomic interactions and quantum effects are significant. Characterizing and modifying surfaces for scientific and technological purposes is the aim of this subject. Friction can be reduced or enhanced more strongly than macroscopic lubrication and adhesion by changing the topology of surfaces at the nanoscale; this is referred as superlubrication and superadhesion. Friction and wear problems in micro- and nanomechanical systems, which are crucial due to the extremely high surface volume ratio, can be solved by coating moving parts with super lubricant coatings. Nanotribological approaches, on the other hand, offer a way to solve adhesion issues.
