The 'right' size in nanobiotechnology.

George M. Whitesides
- 01 Oct 2003 - 
TL;DR: Biology offers a window into the most sophisticated collection of functional nanostructures that exists and the physical sciences offer tools for synthesis and fabrication of devices for measuring the characteristics of cells and sub-cellular components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microfabrication Inside Capillaries Using Multiphase Laminar Flow Patterning

Paul J. A. Kenis, +2 more
- 02 Jul 1999 - 
TL;DR: The reaction of species in solutions flowing laminarly inside capillaries was used as the basis for a broadly applicable method of microfabrication, applicable to the patterning of metals, organic polymers, inorganic crystals, and ceramics on the inner walls of preformed capillary, using both additive and subtractive processes.
PatentDOI

Resilient, untethered soft robot

Michael T. Tolley, +4 more
- 30 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a pneumatically powered, fully untethered mobile soft robot is described, and composites consisting of silicone elastomer, polyaramid fabric, and hollow glass microspheres are used to fabricate a sufficiently large soft robot to carry the miniature air compressors, battery, valves and controller needed for autonomous operation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A 3D-printed, functionally graded soft robot powered by combustion

Nicholas W. Bartlett, +10 more
- 10 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: Using three-dimensional printing to fuse together multiple materials to manufacture a combustion-powered robot whose body transitions from a rigid core to a soft exterior, which is able to perform untethered jumping and also enhances performance.
Patent

Formation of microstamped patterns on surfaces and derivative articles

Amit Kumar, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method of patterning a material surface is provided in which an elastomeric stamp having a stamping surface is coated with a self-assembled monolayer forming species having a functional group selected to bind to a particular material.
