The lack of experimental data in nanotechnology can be attributed to various factors:
Complexity: Nanoscale systems are inherently complex and require sophisticated equipment for experimentation. Cost: Advanced instruments like scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and atomic force microscopes (AFM) are expensive and require specialized training to operate. Standardization: There is a lack of standardized methods for characterizing nanomaterials, leading to inconsistencies in data. Scale: The nanoscale is incredibly small, making it difficult to isolate and measure individual properties.
