How Do Scientists Study Materials at the Nanoscale?
To study and manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular level, scientists use advanced techniques such as Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). These tools allow researchers to visualize, measure, and manipulate individual atoms and molecules with high precision. Additionally, computational methods like molecular dynamics simulations are employed to model the behavior of nanomaterials and predict their properties.
