Over the past decades the self-assembly (SA) of a wide variety of building blocks has become an established technology for the bottom–up fabrication of objects and materials with structural features ...

A new microfluidic device that traps individual cells in microscopic hydrogel “apartments” allows the cells to be individually treated and analyzed much more readily than with previous devices (Anal.

Soft lithography facilitates the fabrication of intricate three-dimensional patterns and structures at both microscale and nanoscale dimensions. Diverging from photolithography, a technique commonly ...

In addition to lithographic techniques like photolithography and electron beam lithography used commonly in producing nanotechnology related devices, a rapidly emerging technique is soft lithography.

Soft lithography is a fabrication technique used to create micro- and nanoscale patterns. Developed in the early 1990s by George M. Whitesides and colleagues, it simplifies pattern formation by using ...
