What are the Future Trends in Advanced Instrumentation?
High-Resolution Imaging As the demand for even smaller and more complex nanostructures grows, the need for high-resolution imaging techniques will continue to rise. Innovations in electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy are likely to lead the way.
In-situ Characterization In-situ characterization techniques, which allow for the observation of materials under real-world conditions, are becoming increasingly important. These methods enable the study of dynamic processes such as nanomaterial growth and catalysis in real-time.
Multi-modal Techniques Multi-modal techniques that combine different types of measurements (e.g., combining AFM with Raman spectroscopy) provide a more comprehensive understanding of nanomaterials. These integrated approaches are expected to become more prevalent.
