Scanning probe microscopy observations of monolayers of a classical boundary lubricant, stearic acid (STA), reveal long-range dynamics of wear and reconstruction of monomolecular films under the shear forces caused by the sliding tip. In the range of sliding velocities studied, the friction forces b
