For measuring nano-scale wear, we introduce a new technique using friction force and dynamic force microscopy. As the cantilever resonance frequency depends on mass of the tip, we can measure the increase or decrease of the tip's worn mass down to some picograms due to the resonance frequency shift of the cantilever. By attaching a small sphere to the upper end of the cantilever's tip we can detect the nano-wear of several material combinations with this approach.
