Researchers at
Princeton University have developed a new method of producing materials with
micron and submicron patterns. Such materials are important in numerous
applications, including photonic materials, high-density magnetic data storage
devices, microchip reactors, and biosensors. Princeton is currently seeking
industrial collaborators to commercialize this technology.
The Princeton method
combines the well-known photochemical sensitivity of semiconductors with
electrical-field-induced assembly to create ordered arrays of colloidal
particles with tunable patterns.
Patent protection is
pending.
