Journal ArticleDOI
Unconventional Methods for Fabricating and Patterning Nanostructures.
TL;DR: Lithography with Neutral Metastable Atoms 1838 4.1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond molecules: Self-assembly of mesoscopic and macroscopic components
TL;DR: Although much of the work in self-assembly has focused on molecular components, many of the most interesting applications of self-assembling processes can be found at larger sizes (nanometers to micrometers).
Journal ArticleDOI
How to make water run uphill.
TL;DR: A surface having a spatial gradient in its surface free energy was capable of causing drops of water placed on it to move uphill after an imbalance in the forces due to surface tension acting on the liquid-solid contact line on the two opposite sides of the drop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding wax printing: a simple micropatterning process for paper-based microfluidics.
TL;DR: A detailed study on wax printing, a simple and inexpensive method for fabricating microfluidic devices in paper using a commercially available printer and hot plate, which creates complete hydrophobic barriers in paper that define hydrophilic channels, fluid reservoirs, and reaction zones.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A prototype system for quantifying bioassays and for exchanging the results of the assays digitally with physicians located off-site offers new opportunities for inexpensive monitoring of health, especially in situations that require physicians to travel to patients to obtain diagnostic information that might be obtained more effectively by less valuable personnel.
