Creation of Functional Surfaces by Nano Interface Technology

Nano-technology and nano-toxicology

Rapid developments in nano-technology are likely to confer significant benefits on mankind. But, as with perhaps all new technologies, these benefits are likely to be accompanied by risks, perhaps by new risks. Nano-toxicology is developing in parallel with nano-technology and seeks to define the hazards and risks associated with nano-materials: only when risks have been identified they can be ...

Nano Technology

We present a new approach using genetic algorithms, neural networks, and nano robotics concepts applied to the problem of control design for nanoassembly automation and its application in medicine. As a practical approach to validate the proposed design, we have elaborated and simulated a virtual Environment focused on control automation for nano robotics teams that exhibit collective behavior....

Erratum: Skyrmion Creation and Manipulation by Nano-Second Current Pulses

with the bulk Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), has chiral crystal structure that supports vortex-like skyrmions. Another type of the systems are heavy metal/ultrathin ferromagnetic layers such as

Nano-technology: a Disruptive Technology?

Nano-structured anti-reflective surfaces replicated by hot embossing

We developed a fabrication technique of anti-reflective structures for applications in the visible spectral range. The depth and duty cycle of the grating structures optimised for wavelengths around 500 nm were calculated using rigorous diffraction theory. We used electron-beam lithography for the manufacturing of linear and crossed grating patterns with pitches of 200 nm and various duty cycle...
