NIL already has been applied in various fields such as biological nanodevices, nanophotonic devices, organic electronics, and the patterning of magnetic materials. Researchers at Berkeley have taken ...

An easy way to pattern the surface of cellulose so that it forms a colourful photonic crystal has been developed. As society looks for sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to common plastics, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanoimprinting lithography (NIL) is a simple pattern transfer process that is emerging as an alternative nanopatterning technology to traditional photolithography. NIL allows the ...

Gallium nitride (GaN)-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have transformed the lighting industry by replacing conventional lighting technologies with superior energy efficiency, longer operating life ...

The developed electric-field-driven generative-nanoimprinting technology enables direct fabrication of large-area tilted metasurface nanostructures with cost-efficiency and high-throughput advantages.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Many animals such as bird, fish, butterflies and peacocks, get their beautiful colors not only from pigments, but also from nanoscale structures that manipulate light. Indeed, ...

Using a combination of experimental data and simulations, researchers have identified key parameters that predict the outcome of nanoimprint lithography, a fabrication technique that offers an ...

A research team has developed a display which projects holographic images that change color and brightness in response to humidity. A single imprint is enough, and holographic images can be replicated ...

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 ...

created in the resist by imprinting (1). The pressure is maintained until the polymer flow fills the cavities of the mold (2). The mold and substrate are cooled below the glass transition temperature ...
