Can you name some emerging measurement techniques in Nanotechnology?
Emerging measurement techniques include near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), which combines the principles of scanning probe microscopy and optical microscopy to achieve high-resolution imaging beyond the diffraction limit. Another technique is nanomechanical testing, which assesses the mechanical properties of nanomaterials using methods like nanoindentation. Advanced spectroscopic methods, such as Raman spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, are also gaining prominence for chemical characterization at the nanoscale.
