With the goal of advancing biomimetic microscale materials, the research team has developed a new method to create microscale superstructures, called MicroSpine, that possess both soft and hard ...

A team of researchers led by Biomedical Engineering Professor Columbia Engineering has developed a way to manufacture microscale-sized machines from biomaterials that can safely be implanted in the ...

This release is also available in German. Craftsmen tile walls or floors by hand; but how can you get an ordered monolayer onto a substrate when the "tiles" are microscopically small instead of big ...

A £2M manufacturing facility for high-volume, low-cost parts was opened last week at the Weymouth headquarters of UK precision engineering firm Tecan. The company uses photo-electroforming and ...

Zyvex Corporation has announced the A100 Assembly System, a manipulation and assembly tool which can be used with either a scanning electron or optical microscope to assemble microscale components.

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers led by Biomedical Engineering Professor Sam Sia at Columbia Engineering has developed a way to manufacture microscale-sized machines from biomaterials that can ...

In nature, it is common to find structures that combine both soft and hard material. These structures are responsible for diverse mechanical properties and functions of biological systems. As a ...

Korean researchers have come to the realization that even tiny molecular components can be arranged in a "do-it-yourself" method. Their manually produced monolayers of microcrystals are qualitatively ...
