What Are the Challenges in Studying Capillary Forces at the Nanoscale?
One of the primary challenges is accurately measuring these forces, as they are extremely small and sensitive to environmental conditions. Advanced techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are often employed to investigate these forces at the nanoscale. Additionally, theoretical modeling and simulations play a significant role in understanding the complex interactions governing capillary forces.
