Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of micro and nanostructures across various fields using the Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) method. The research evaluates five key areas: Electronics and Semiconductors, Medical and Biological Applications, Materials Science, Optics and Photonics, and Environmental Applications, across four primary domains: Electronics, Sensing, Energy, and Medicine. The EDAS method was employed to assess the performance and potential of micro and nanostructures in these fields. The analysis involved calculating Positive Distance from Average (PDA), Negative Distance from Average (NDA), and weighted values to determine the final rankings. Results indicate that Medical and Biological Applications rank highest, demonstrating the most significant potential and current applications for micro and nanostructures. Environmental Applications and Materials Science follow closely, ranking second and third respectively, highlighting their importance in addressing environmental challenges and advancing fundamental understanding of these technologies. Surprisingly, Electronics and Semiconductors, traditionally at the forefront of micro and nanostructure applications, ranked last among the evaluated fields. This unexpected outcome suggests a shift in the landscape of micro and nanostructure applications, with rapid advancements occurring in other areas. The study also reveals varying strengths across different domains for each field. For instance, Materials Science shows high relevance in Medicine, while Optics and Photonics excel in Sensing applications. This research provides valuable insights into the current state and future directions of micro and nanostructure applications. It emphasizes the growing importance of these technologies in medical, biological, and environmental applications, while also underscoring the need for continued research and development across all fields. The findings have implications for future research priorities, interdisciplinary collaborations, and potential industrial applications of micro and nanostructures.
