What Makes Measurement at the Nanoscale Difficult?
Several factors contribute to the difficulty of measuring at the nanoscale:
Scale: The incredibly small size of nanomaterials makes traditional measurement tools ineffective. Quantum Effects: Phenomena such as quantum tunneling and electron wave interference become significant. Environmental Sensitivity: Nanomaterials can be highly sensitive to their surroundings, including temperature, pressure, and even the presence of light. Surface Effects: Properties at the nanoscale are often dominated by surface interactions, which can be difficult to measure accurately.
