High-speed nanoscale tribology enabled by combined QCM/AFM

•A combined QCM/AFM approach is presented for high-speed nanotribology.•Proof-of-principle experiments are performed on graphene and gold surfaces.•Simultaneously acquired maps of lateral force and frequency shift show spatial alignment.•Frequency shift maps exhibit improved contrast when compared with lateral force maps.•Stick and partial slip regimes are observed via speed-dependent experiments.
