MIT News: Fast, cheap nanomanufacturing – Arrays of tiny conical tips that eject ionized materials could fabricate nanoscale devices cheaply.
Luis Fernando Velásquez-García’s group at MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) develops dense arrays of microscopic cones that harness electrostatic forces to eject streams of ions. The technology has a range of promising applications: depositing or etching features onto nanoscale mechanical devices; spinning out nanofibers for use in water filters, body armor, and “smart” textiles; or…
