A new polymer combination could help electronics manufacturers build nanoscale stamps for speedy computer chips and high-capacity hard drives. The material self-assembles into some of the smallest ...

With blazing speed and seemingly limitless digital memory, the personal computers of the early 1990s rocketed past those that ranked as state-of-the-art just a couple of years earlier. Within a few ...

In this interview Professor Harald Pasch talks about The Importance of a Field-Flow Fractionation System When Characterising Polymer Self-Assemblies. For the benefit of our readers could you explain ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the quest to create materials that are both lightweight and strong, scientists have long been inspired by the intricate structures found in nature. From the lattice-like bones ...

Polyethylene plastics -- single-use bags and general-purpose bottles -- are indestructable forever plastics. That also makes them hard to recycle. Chemists have found a way to break down the polymer - ...

The method of fabricating structures and devices at the nanoscale, known as nanofabrication, has resulted in major developments in several fields, such as electronics, medicine, and materials science.
