Mechanics

The creation and understanding of mechanisms and surfaces from the micron scale down to the atomic scale is the basis for understanding the nanoscale interactions between different materials. Focusing on the ways in which mechanical properties such as elasticity, thermal motion, and kinetics affect nanostructures and nanomaterials is also a vital aspect of basic nanotechnology research and perfecting commercial applications. Studying the mechanics and morphology of materials at the nanoscale can also sometimes provide insight into their behavior at the macroscale.
