Why is Characterization Important in Nanotechnology?
Characterization is critical in nanotechnology because the properties of materials can change significantly at the nanoscale. These properties include electrical, optical, magnetic, and mechanical behaviors, which can differ drastically from bulk materials. Accurate characterization enables scientists to tailor these properties for specific applications, such as in [nanomedicine](), [nanoelectronics](), and [nanocomposites]().
