متن کاملIntegrated Nanomanufacturing and Nanoinformatics for Quality Improvement
Unlike traditional manufacturing, nanomanufacturing (NM) involves product characteristics and process variables at multiple feature scales. However, control of the multiscale process/product variations (MPVs) in NM is constrained by the scarcity of measurement data, a lack of observation during processing, and limited physical knowledge. The article argues that NM and nanoinformatics should be ...
