Friction and wear are detrimental to functionality and reduce the service life of products with mechanical elements. Here, we unveil the atomic-scale friction of a single tungsten asperity in real time through a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy investigation of a nanocontact in countermotion, induced through a piezo actuator. Molecular dynamics simulations provide insights into the sliding pathway of interface atoms and the dynamic strain/stress evolution at the interface. We observe a discrete stick–slip behaviour and an asynchronous process for the accumulation and dissipation of the strain energy together with the non-uniform motion of interface atoms. Our methodology allows for studying in situ atomic-friction phenomena and provides insights into friction phenomena at the atomic scale.
