Stamping technique enables cheaper nanodevices

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Compiled by Photonics Spectra staff

A simple technique for stamping patterns invisible to the human eye onto a special class of nanomaterials provides a new, cost-effective way to produce novel devices for a wide range of applications, including drug delivery, chemical and biological sensors, solar cells and battery electrodes. The technique, developed by Vanderbilt University engineers, works with porous nanomaterials riddled with tiny voids that give them unique optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. There are nanoporous forms of gold, silicon, aluminum and titanium oxide, among others. Until...Read full article

    electron beam
    A stream of electrons emitted by a single source that move in the same direction and at the same speed.
    microscope
    An instrument consisting essentially of a tube 160 mm long, with an objective lens at the distant end and an eyepiece at the near end. The objective forms a real aerial image of the object in the focal plane of the eyepiece where it is observed by the eye. The overall magnifying power is equal to the linear magnification of the objective multiplied by the magnifying power of the eyepiece. The eyepiece can be replaced by a film to photograph the primary image, or a positive or negative relay...
    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.
    optical
    Pertaining to optics and the phenomena of light.
