The understanding and manipulation of nanoscale analytes is a central theme in nanotechnology and has been one of the main driving forces behind the development of this field as we know it today. Furthermore, such a technology has the potential to also rev ...
The DNA Curtains assay is a recently developed experimental platform for protein-DNA interaction studies at the single-molecule level that is based on anchoring and alignment of DNA fragments. The DNA Curtains so far have been made by using chromium barrie ...
Optical nanocavities enhance light-matter interaction due to their high quality factors (Q) and small modal volumes (V). The control of light-matter interaction lies at the heart of potential applications for integrated optical circuits, including optical ...
Production in a controlled environment is becoming an increasingly important issue in various branches of industry. In the food, pharmaceutical, optical and semiconductor industries, today’s mass production would not be possible without so-called “cleanroo ...
Until now, the preferred solution for MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) actuation is the electrostatic one. The main reason is that this kind of actuators can be easily manufactured following the microfabrication rules, as their geometry perfectly fi ...
The coupling of stimuli-responsive macromolecules to nanostructured surfaces opens the perspective for the fabrication and integration of "smart" micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS&NEMS) in which the smallest motile unit is the polymeric chai ...
This work describes the advancements made in micro and nano patterning via stencil lithography. Stencil lithography is a resist-less and direct pattern technique where a controlled amount of material is deposited through apertures on to a substrate in a va ...
