What are the Challenges in Achieving Robust Design?
Despite its importance, achieving robust design in nanotechnology is fraught with challenges:
- Variability in Material Properties: Nanoscale materials often exhibit different properties compared to their bulk counterparts, making it difficult to predict their behavior. - Manufacturing Precision: Fabricating nano-devices with high precision is challenging due to the limitations of current manufacturing technologies. - Environmental Sensitivity: Nanomaterials can be highly sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and chemical exposure.
