1. A method for lubricating gearing comprising at least one step of bringing the gearing into contact with a lubricating composition comprising:
a base oil; and
a Molybdenum or Tungsten chalcogenide nanoobject having an object size comprised from 0.1 to 500 nm and from 1 to 99% by weight of molecules of formula (I) with respect to the total weight of the nanoobject, wherein the surface of the nanoobject is functionalized with the molecules of formula (I),
A-X-B  (I)
wherein the molecule of formula (I) is selected from the group consisting of: propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, diethanolamine, 1,6-hexanediol, polyethyleneglycolmonomethyl ether, 6-amino-1-hexanol, and polyalkylene glycol.
