Metrology, the study of measurement, enables researchers to measure the properties and performance of materials and devices and to generate data from laboratory experiments. Over the past 20 years of nanotechnology R&D, many areas of research have required the development of tools, methods, and techniques to characterize and evaluate materials, devices, and formulations. Nanometrology, the study of nanoscale measurement, presents a unique set of challenges due to the small size of the materials, often requiring more sensitive and innovative tools, methods, and techniques to obtain and understand characterization data.
