Friction encompasses physical phenomena full of practical and technological
importance, yet poorly explored and understood when it comes to physics-based
predictive theory. The advent of nanofriction experiments and emulations has made
this mismatch even more striking, starting a modern renaissance of friction. I will
describe fresh attempts, based upon ongoing modeling and simulation work,
currently reducing this gap in some lucky cases.
