Using an off-the-shelf inkjet printer, a team of scientists has developed a simple technique for printing patterns of carbon nanotubes on paper and plastic surfaces. The method, which is described in ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Advanced electronics manufacturing demands precise control over multiple layers of functional materials. Each layer - whether conducting electricity, emitting light, or processing ...

When Benjamin in "The Graduate" was told to go into plastics, computers were in their infancy and silicon technology ruled. Now, conducting organic polymers are infiltrating the electronics sphere and ...

Self-assembly of block-copolymers provides a route to the fabrication of small (size, <50 nm) and dense (pitch, <100 nm) features with an accuracy that approaches even the demanding specifications for ...

Very fine dimensions of lithography are required for fabrication of modern microelectronics. At present ultra-violet light is generally used in manufacturing to define patterns through masks on to ...
