What are the Applications of Thermal Fluctuations in Nanotechnology?
While often seen as a challenge, thermal fluctuations can also be exploited for innovative applications. In stochastic resonance, noise can be used to enhance the detection of weak signals in nanoscale sensors. Additionally, thermal fluctuations are central to the operation of Brownian motors, which convert random thermal motion into directed movement, with potential applications in nanoscale transport systems and drug delivery.
