Stokes' Law is applied in various ways within the field of nanotechnology:
Sedimentation: In techniques like centrifugation, Stokes' Law helps in calculating the settling velocity of nanoparticles to separate them based on size and density. Fluid Dynamics: It is used to model the movement of nanoparticles in fluids, which is crucial for applications like targeted drug delivery. Sensing: In nanosensors, understanding the drag force can improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensors.
