Dip Pen Nanolithography - an established method of nanofabrication
Dip Pen Nanolithography® is an established method of nanofabrication in which materials are deposited onto a surface via a sharp probe tip. Molecules are transferred from the tip to the surface through a water meniscus which forms in ambient conditions as the tip nears the surface.
Chemical engineers at Oregon State University have invented a new technology to deposit ``nanostructure films'' on various surfaces, which may first find use as coatings for eyeglasses that cost less and work better.
