The complexity of nanoscale experiments necessitates the use of scripting to handle repetitive tasks and manage large datasets. Scripting allows researchers to automate the control of nanoinstruments such as atomic force microscopes (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopes (STM), thereby reducing human error and increasing the speed of data acquisition. Additionally, scripting enables the customization of experiments to fit specific research needs, enhancing the flexibility and scope of nanotechnology research.
