Daniel S. Burgess

Investigators at the Industrial Materials Institute of the National Research Council of Canada in Boucherville, Quebec, have developed a laser-based technique for the fabrication of metallic nanostructures on prepatterned substrates that promises to speed production and reduce the cost of constructing 3-D molds for nanoimprint lithography as well as nanostructured substrates for biochemical sensing. Since its development in 1996, nanoimprint lithography has been studied as a means of producing ultradense integrated circuits, fluidic micromachines for the sorting of biological molecules,...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    nanoimprint lithography
    Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a nanolithography technique used for fabricating nanoscale patterns on a substrate. It is a high-resolution, high-throughput process that involves the mechanical deformation of a resist material on a substrate to create the desired nanostructures. The process is similar to traditional embossing, where a mold or template is pressed into a material to replicate a pattern. Here are the key elements and steps involved in nanoimprint lithography: Template/mold...
