The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the ...

In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of material that can expand, assume new shapes, move and follow ...

To tattoo a tardigrade, Zhao and his colleagues adapted a nanofabrication technique called ice lithography. This is a form of ...

One of the most complex parts of this process is lithography: the step in which shapes are drawn onto a silicon wafer. There are several ways to do this, all of them rather complicated ...

Computational lithography uses various techniques of resolution enhancement technology (RET) to create more perfect images on the chip as the elements of the transistor get smaller and smaller.

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is the next step in this trend. It uses radiation of wavelength 13.5 nm, thereby offering significant potential to extend the resolution of photolithography ...

The material could someday be used in flexible semiconductors, tear-resistant textiles, bioengineering scaffolds, and more.

What is Block Copolymer Lithography? Block copolymer lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes the self-assembly properties of block copolymers to create ordered nanostructures. Block ...

Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography at 13.5 nm is expected to be introduced in high-volume semiconductor chip production over the next three years. Research is now underway to investigate sub-10 ...

Tsinghua scientists 3D print multifunctional magnetic soft robots - opening doors to advanced biomedical and robotic ...
