This award recognizes outstanding scientific quality, innovation, and broad relevance in tribology research. The winning review article highlights the potential of physics-informed machine learning for addressing complex challenges related to friction, wear, and lubrication. By combining physical models with state-of-the-art AI methods, this approach opens up entirely new avenues for the analysis and optimization of tribological systems.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the award committee and to everyone involved!
