What are the Applications of Nanoscale Pressure Measurement?
Accurate pressure measurement at the nanoscale is pivotal in several applications:
Nanofabrication: Controlling pressure during processes like nanoimprint lithography ensures the accurate replication of nanoscale patterns. Material Science: Understanding the pressure-induced phase transitions in nanomaterials aids in the development of new materials with tailored properties. Biomedical Devices: Nanoscale pressure sensors can be used in implantable medical devices to monitor physiological parameters in real-time. Energy Harvesting: Pressure-sensitive nanomaterials are used in piezoelectric and triboelectric generators to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
