Nanolithography Nets Biopolymer EO Device Improvements
Researchers demonstrated the first-ever nanoimprint-lithography-based fabrication of biopolymer nanostructures. The nanolithography technology will enable low-cost, portable production of communications and sensing devices. Pictured are atomic-force microscope images of a nanoimprinted DNA biopolymer; the diameter of each pillar is 70 nm, and the height is >150 nm. (AFRL image)
