The term nanolithography is derived from the Greek words “nanos”, meaning Dwarf; “lithos”, meaning rock; and “grapho” meaning to write. Therefore the literal translation is "tiny writing on rocks".

From materials science to biotechnology, the field of nanotechnology has branched out into various areas of research. Several of these applications are predicated on the capacity to fabricate or ...

Scientists have developed a nanolithographic technique that can produce high-resolution patterns of at least three different chemicals on a single chip at writing speeds of up to one millimeter per ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanolithography has traditionally involved very expensive processes and the cost of advanced lithography tools, mask making, complex process and relevant materials has become a ...

Researchers have developed a new nanolithography technique that is less expensive than other approaches and can be used to create technologies with biomedical applications. Researchers from North ...

Extreme ultraviolet light (EUV light) does not naturally occur on Earth, but it can be produced. In nanolithography machines, EUV light is generated using an immensely hot tin plasma. Researchers at ...

The controlled assembly of proteins into bioactive nanostructures is a key challenge in nanobiotechnology, including the potential to develop protein chips with ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is a scanning probe lithography technique in which the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) is used to deliver molecules to a surface, allowing ...
