This award will provide partial support for attendees of the 2008 Gordon Conference on Tribology: Advancing Interfacial Science & Engineering to be held 6-11 July 2008, Colby College, Maine, USA. Tribology is the study of friction, wear & lubrication. It is an extremely complex and multi-disciplinary field that involves processes over a wide range of size and time scales. The biennial Gordon Research Conference on Tribology is a unique forum for gathering experts in disparate fields to advance our understanding of the complex problems tribology presents. Leading scientists and engineers from universities, national laboratories and industry meet with young scientists and newcomers to tribology for one week of formal and informal discussions on state-of-the art issues. This opportunity for a lively and open exchange of new ideas shapes the future of the field. Some of the most difficult and compelling challenges in tribology concern the nature of the buried interface where surfaces slide past each other. The 2008 Gordon Conference will emphasize fundamental new approaches for revealing the physics, mechanics and chemistry of these interfaces. Tribology has a critical impact on all aspects of our quality of life, health, wealth and livelihood. Controlling friction and wear can either inhibit or enable technological advances from non-ferrous engines to body prostheses and from micromachines to nanotechnological devices. The 2008 Gordon Conference will emphasize phenomena at buried interfaces. New fundamental understanding of these interfaces will have a profound impact on tribological applications in many industries. The Gordon Conference is a key mechanism for linking the basic sciences with an engineering discipline of significant importance to the U.S. and World economies. Tribology advances require a constant flux of new ideas between these researchers and disciplines. The conference also provides opportunities for young investigators, students and those new to tribology to learn from those with a deep understanding of tribological problems and cutting edge approaches. This proposal focuses on providing support for conference fees and/or travel expenses that will enable key participants to attend the Gordon Conference. We will strive for gender balance and also favor under-represented ethnic minority or disabled individuals that apply. Support from this grant will play a particularly important role in allowing attendance of students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty that would otherwise not have funds.

该奖项将为2008年戈登摩擦学会议的参与者提供部分支持：推进界面科学与工程，将于2008年7月6日至11日在美国缅因州科尔比学院举行。 摩擦学是对摩擦，磨损和润滑的研究。这是一个极其复杂且多学科的领域，涉及在大小和时间尺度范围内的过程。 两年一的戈登摩擦学研究会议是一个独特的论坛，旨在收集不同领域的专家，以促进我们对摩擦学贡献的复杂问题的理解。来自大学，国家实验室和行业的领先科学家和工程师会与年轻的科学家和新移民与摩擦学会面，进行了为期一周的正式和非正式讨论，就最新的问题进行了正式和非正式的讨论。这种活泼和开放的新想法的机会塑造了该领域的未来。 摩擦学中一些最困难，最引人注目的挑战涉及埋藏界面的性质，在该界面相互滑动。 2008年戈登会议将强调基本的新方法，以揭示这些接口的物理，力学和化学。摩擦学对我们生活质量，健康，财富和生计的各个方面都有关键的影响。控制摩擦和磨损可以抑制或促进从非有产发动机到人体假体以及从微机械到纳米技术设备的技术进步。 2008年戈登会议将强调埋葬界面的现象。 对这些界面的新基本理解将对许多行业的摩擦学应用产生深远的影响。戈登会议是将基本科学与对美国和世界经济重要性重要性的工程学科联系起来的关键机制。 摩擦学的进步需要这些研究人员和学科之间的新想法不断变化。该会议还为年轻的调查人员，学生和新手摩擦学的人提供了机会，可以从对摩擦学问题和最先进方法有深刻理解的人们学习。该提案的重点是为会议费和/或旅行费用提供支持，这将使主要参与者能够参加戈登会议。 我们将努力争取性别平衡，并赞成代表性不足的少数民族或申请的残疾人。 这笔赠款的支持将在允许学生出席，博士后研究员和初级教师中发挥特别重要的作用，否则该教师将没有资金。
