Several techniques are used to study nanomechanics, including:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): AFM is a powerful tool that can measure the mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale by probing their surface with a sharp tip. Nanoindentation: This technique involves pressing a hard tip into a material to measure its hardness and elastic modulus, providing insights into its mechanical properties. Molecular Dynamics Simulations: These computer simulations model the behavior of atoms and molecules, allowing researchers to study mechanical properties and behaviors at the atomic level.
