Today’s smartwatches, ultrabooks and powerful supercomputers are made possible by the extreme miniaturisation achieved through advanced microfabrication. The newly emerging nanofabrication tools will take these technologies one step further: enabling construction of super-fine features at higher density to produce devices that are lightweight and super-compact with greater affordability.
Researchers from The University of Sydney (USYD, Australia), led by Dr Vincent Gomes, and The Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB, India), led by Dr Shobha Shukla, have developed novel 3D-metastructures at nanoscale for application in electronics, sensing and detection, advanced manufacturing and biomedicine.
