What are the Challenges in Quantitative Nanotechnology?
Despite advancements, several challenges persist:
- Sample Preparation: Preparing samples without altering their inherent properties can be difficult. - Surface Effects: Nanomaterials have a high surface area to volume ratio, making surface effects more pronounced and harder to control. - Interference from the environment: Nanoscale measurements can be affected by external factors such as temperature, humidity, and contamination. - Reproducibility: Achieving consistent results across different labs and conditions is challenging but essential for the validation of findings.
