Several techniques are central to nanotechnology research and development:
Electron Microscopy: Allows visualization of materials at the nanoscale. Atomic Force Microscopy: Provides topographical imaging and manipulation of surfaces at the atomic level. Nanolithography: Enables patterning of nanoscale features for electronic components. Self-Assembly: Utilizes molecular interactions to form organized structures. Quantum Dots: Semiconductor nanoparticles with unique optical and electronic properties.
