This grant will provide partial support of registration fees for 5 invited participants and approximately 21 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and/or early career investigators to attend the 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Tribology: At the Nexus of Science, Engineering, and Sustainability being held in Lewiston, Maine, 22-28 June 2024. Tribology is the science of friction and wear at the sliding contacts. Research and engineering efforts in tribology address the physical and chemical mechanisms underlying friction and wear and aim to design materials, processes, and devices such that new solutions to technological challenges become available. Advances in tribology help to reduce energy consumption by lowering friction, to prolong the lifetime, and enhance the safety of mechanical systems by reducing wear, and to decrease harmful emissions in applications from vehicles to manufacturing through the reduction of energy use. Tribology also impacts the life of humans and animals that move on earth. The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Tribology is a forum to exchange results of cutting-edge research amongst an interdisciplinary group of scientists and engineers who are at the forefront of addressing fundamental and applied challenges in this field. This award will promote the participation of students and early-career researchers from diverse backgrounds at the GRC. This subtitle, “At the Nexus of Science, Engineering, and Sustainability,” reflects the fact that a comprehensive understanding of tribological phenomena requires multidisciplinary knowledge encompassing a range of classical fields in science and engineering; the next significant breakthroughs are likely to be found at the nexus between disciplines. Most tribologists are trained in one of these fields with an emphasis on either science or engineering and then exposed to other fields as they make transitions from schools to real-world situations. Realizing the multidisciplinary and multiscale challenges in tribology, the next significant breakthroughs are likely to be found at the nexus between disciplines. To achieve these breakthroughs, the very diverse tribology community needs to come together to learn and discover together. Therefore, the 2024 GRC on Tribology invites scientists and engineers from all disciplines to discuss and debate the forefront research questions in the field, and to share how these questions are addressed from different angles. The exchange of results and ideas is held in an informal atmosphere, starting from invited talks given by leading scientists and continuing in extended discussions around contributed posters. The scientific discussion of interplays among various mechanisms over different length scales is expected to lead to breakthroughs in the understanding of the interfacial phenomena leading to friction and wear. The 2024 GRC will provide a venue for this discussion and learning.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这笔赠款将为 5 名受邀参与者和约 21 名研究生、博士后研究员和/或早期职业研究人员提供部分注册费支持，以参加正在举行的 2024 年戈登摩擦学研究会议：科学、工程和可持续发展的关系2024 年 6 月 22 日至 28 日在缅因州刘易斯顿举行。摩擦学是研究滑动接触处摩擦和磨损的科学，摩擦学领域的研究和工程工作致力于解决摩擦和磨损背后的物理和化学机制。磨损，旨在设计材料、工艺和设备，从而为技术挑战提供新的解决方案，从而有助于通过降低摩擦来降低能耗，延长使用寿命，并通过减少磨损来增强机械系统的安全性。通过减少能源使用来减少从车辆到制造等应用中的有害排放，摩擦学也会影响地球上移动的人类和动物的生活。戈登摩擦学研究会议 (GRC) 是一个交流尖端成果的论坛。跨学科科学家小组的研究该奖项将促进来自不同背景的学生和早期研究人员参与 GRC。可持续性”反映了这样一个事实，即对摩擦学现象的全面理解需要涵盖科学和工程学一系列经典领域的多学科知识；下一个重大突破可能会在学科之间的联系中找到，大多数摩擦学家都接受过其中一个学科的培训。这些领域侧重于科学或工程，然后在从学校过渡到现实世界的过程中接触其他领域，认识到摩擦学中的多学科和多尺度挑战，下一个重大突破可能会在两者之间的联系中找到。为了实现这些突破，非常多样化的摩擦学界需要聚集在一起学习和发现，因此，2024 年摩擦学 GRC 邀请来自各个学科的科学家和工程师讨论和辩论该领域的前沿研究问题。领域，并分享如何从不同角度解决这些问题，在非正式的氛围中进行成果和想法的交流，从顶尖科学家的受邀演讲开始，并继续围绕贡献的海报进行广泛的讨论。不同长度尺度的各种机制预计将在对导致摩擦和磨损的界面现象的理解上取得突破。2024 年 GRC 将为这一讨论和学习提供场所。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的。支持通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
