What Technologies Are Commonly Used in Automated Control Systems for Nanotechnology?
Several technologies are integral to these systems: - Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): AFM is widely used for imaging, measuring, and manipulating matter at the nanoscale. - Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM): STM allows for the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. - Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS): MEMS are used for creating miniature devices and sensors that can operate at the nanoscale. - Nano-robots: These are tiny robots designed to perform specific tasks at the nanoscale, often controlled through automated systems.
