New instruments on the horizon promise the most precise tools yet to study and experiment on the smallest and most complex materials ever manufactured.
In a paper published in the journal Nature Materials, University of Cincinnati Assistant Professor Hanxun Jin highlighted advances in ultrasensitive technology to measure and manipulate some of the tiniest nanomaterials used in manufacturing, aerospace, medicine and more.
And when Jin says tiny, he means really tiny. Semiconductor nanocrystals called quantum dots that are used in TV screens are so small they’re considered zero dimensional.
That makes the field of nanomaterials characterization a particularly exciting one, Jin said.
