Abstract
This article delves into the multifaceted realm of nanoscale characterization, a critical discipline at the intersection of materials science and nanotechnology. By examining the significance of understanding materials at the nanoscale, the article elucidates the unique properties that emerge in this dimension and explores the diverse techniques employed in nanoscale characterization. Techniques such as scanning probe microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering are discussed in detail, emphasizing their roles in unraveling the mysteries of materials at the atomic and molecular levels. Furthermore, the article elucidates the broad applications of nanoscale characterization across fields such as materials science, medicine, electronics and energy. Challenges in the field are acknowledged and future perspectives, including correlative microscopy, machine learning-assisted analysis and in situ characterization methods, are highlighted. As we celebrate the one-year milestone of this article, it underscores the ongoing and evolving nature of nanoscale characterization, showcasing its indispensable role in advancing scientific understanding and technological innovation.
