Enhanced precision in nanotechnology is achieved through various techniques and tools:
1. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): This tool allows scientists to view and manipulate materials at the atomic level, providing detailed images and enabling precise adjustments. 2. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM): STM provides high-resolution images of surfaces at the atomic scale and allows for the manipulation of individual atoms. 3. Electron Beam Lithography (EBL): EBL is used to create extremely fine patterns needed for the fabrication of nanodevices. 4. Molecular Self-Assembly: This process allows molecules to automatically arrange themselves into precise structures without external guidance.
