DESCRIPTION:In the dawning age of sustainability\, energy harvesting and (
 concomitant) dissipation at interfaces play a crucial role for processes t
 hat feed and fuel our modern societies.\nThe most obvious dissipation chan
 nel is given by vibrations of the surface atoms (phonons)\, but also elect
 ron-hole pair excitations can play an important role.\nI am going to prese
 nt some of our recent attempts to quantify the effects of both of these ch
 annels by further developing and applying computer simulations.
