nanoscale characterization
Nanoscale characterization involves techniques used to examine and measure materials at an extremely small scale—about 1 to 100 nanometers, which is thousands of times smaller than a human hair. This process helps scientists understand the structure, composition, and properties of nanomaterials, which can influence their strength, conductivity, or reactivity. Using advanced tools like electron microscopes or spectrometers, researchers can visualize and analyze these tiny features to develop new materials and improve technologies in medicine, electronics, and energy. It’s essential for advancing innovations that rely on understanding matter at the smallest levels.
