...ease. The work is also an extraordinary example of miniaturization of technology, saidDr. Schwab. "This is going orders of magnitude beyond nanotechnology, which wecan visualize using optical microscopy or electron microscopy. We're taking itall the way to the single molecule level, which is quite exciting." Dr. K...Northwestern chemist develops nanoplotter with parallel writing capabilities

Tien's laboratory has developed a miniature motor that can be built on a chip and used to move a mirror less than 1/100 of...Writing nanopatterns with DNA inks
...e chip because it takes gene chips to the limit of miniaturization down to the scale of the DNA molecules themselves. This development, which uses the same tool to write patterns and read the results on the nanometer scale, could have an enormous impact on genomics and proteomics research. Results of the DNA patter...US DoE awards $4 million in funding to Stevens' Center for MicroChemical Systems
...n-time production process made possible by reactor miniaturization is therefore a very attractive option for the pharmaceutical industry. The projects present a number of fundamental technical challenges, particularly in the area of rational design and engineering of multiphase catalytic microchannel reactors.
