Interface science has changed significantly during the last 10–15 years. This is partially due toscientific breakthroughs. For example, the invention of scanning probe microscopy and refineddiffraction methods allow us to look at interfaces under “wet” conditions with unprecedentedaccuracy. This change is also due to the greatly increased community of interfacial scientists.One reason is certainly the increased relevance of micro- and nanotechnology, includinglab-on-chip technology, microfluids, and biochips. Objects in the micro- and nanoworld aredominated by surface effects rather than gravitation or inertia. Therefore, surface science isthe basis for nanotechnology
