Several specialized tools and methods are employed to study fluid dynamics in nanotechnology:
- Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Used to measure forces and interactions at the nanoscale. - Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulations: Provides detailed insights into the movements and interactions of individual molecules. - Microfluidics and Nanofluidics: These technologies allow for the manipulation and study of fluids in channels with dimensions on the order of nanometers. - Lab-on-a-chip devices: These integrate multiple laboratory functions on a single chip for high-throughput analysis.
