NIST researchers correct common error in nanotech measurements

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers at NIST have identified a widespread data analysis error in nanoscience and nanotechnology that misrepresents how material properties change with size. This error, stemming from an underestimation of measurement inaccuracies, can obscure the true relationship between a nanomaterial's size and its performance. The NIST team has proposed a mathematical correction, published in ACS Nano, to account for these sizing errors, which could lead to more accurate material testing and product development in the multi-billion dollar nanotech industry.
