GIST Researchers Develop Nanotechnology for Creating Wafer-Scale Nanoparticle Monolayers in Seconds
The unique abilities of nanoparticles make them lucrative materials for a wide range of applications both for research and industrial purposes.
- The unique abilities of nanoparticles make them lucrative materials for a wide range of applications both for research and industrial purposes.
- While artificial methods struggle with these drawbacks, underwater adhesion processes found in nature have evolved into unique strategies to overcome this problem.
- The researchers engineered the electrostatic surface potential for both the target surface and the nanoparticles, driven by proton dynamics.
- The researchers further found that the charge-sensitive nature of the underlying process enables deterministic "healing" of monolayer films and "pick-and-place" nanopatterning at the wafer scale.
