Dip-pen lithography harnesses an atomic-force microscope (AFM) to ink virtually any chemical compound onto a substrate with nanometer control. The method has proven “very useful,” Wickramasinghe said, ...

Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN), a direct-write soft lithography method, is used to develop nanostructures on a preferred substrate by offering sets of molecules through capillary transport from an ...

CHICAGO, Illinois — NanoInk Inc. has made two enhancements to its Nscriptor Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN) system, the company said Wednesday (May 12). These are the addition of passive multi-probe ...

Mirkin invented dip-pen lithography in 1999; in 2008, he developed a more practical approach using polymer pens instead of microscope tips. The pens are cheaper than the microscope tips, easier to ...

Small – Parallel Dip-Pen Nanolithography using Spore- and Colloid-Terminated Cantilevers. ABSTRACT – Parallel dip-pen nanolithography is used to generate micrometer-scale patterns with protein and ...

Apr 17, 2006: Dip-pen lithography creates active protein nanoarrays (Nanowerk News) Arrays of proteins attached to solid surfaces have become important tools in drug discovery and cancer diagnostics, ...

Beam-pen lithography is the third type of “pen” in Mirkin’s nanofabrication arsenal. He developed polymer-pen lithography (PPL) in 2008 and Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) in 1999, both of which deliver ...

Dip-pen lithography uses arrays of sharp, stiff cantilevered probes -- the same ones used for atomic force microscopy. Mirkin created a company, NanoInk, to commercialize the technology.

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 nanostructured surface ...

He developed polymer-pen lithography (PPL) in 2008 and Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) in 1999, both of which deliver chemical materials to a surface and have since been commercialized into research ...

Now researchers report a cheap, fast lithography technique that uses arrays of flexible polymer nano pens to precisely pattern millions of complex structures in parallel. The technique, which the ...

Manufacturing nanostructures has always been a pain because it's hard to scale up. Researchers have discovered a cheap, disposable way of producing nanostructures on the fly, which could be useful ...
