Implosion Fabrication
Implosion fabrication combines the chemistry of baby diapers with chemistries from the dawn of photography to create a fundamentally new approach to three-dimensional nanofabrication. With Implosion Fabrication, practically any three-dimensional structure can be created in a single fabrication step, opening the way to the fabrication of new antennas and optical components for military and consumer electronic applications.
Description
In Implosion Fabrication, binding sites are patterned using two-photon lithography into a hydrogel, and materials are then attached to the binding sites via a volumetric deposition process. Subsequently, the hydrogel can be shrunken isotropically, reducing the patterns to the nanoscale.
