Tribology Letters - Mark Robbins, In Memoriam
2020 marked the untimely passing of a giant in the world of tribology: Mark Robbins. Mark was a pioneer in the atomic/molecular-scale analysis of a host of complex physical systems, including many that lie at the heart of our field. As a tribute to Mark's life and work, Tribology Letters has organized a Topical Collection: Mark Robbins, in memoriam. Under the guest editorship of Martin Müser, himself a former collaborator of Mark, this Collection will ultimately consist of some 25 articles by Mark's friends and colleagues, many of whom are themselves leaders in various areas of tribology and related disciplines.
