How Does Wave-Particle Duality Impact Nanotechnology?
The wave-particle duality described by de Broglie allows for the manipulation of particles in ways that are not possible at larger scales. For instance, the electron microscopy techniques used to visualize nanoscale structures rely on the wave nature of electrons. Additionally, the development of nanoelectronics and spintronics benefits from understanding the wave-like behavior of electrons within nanoscale materials.
