RESEARCH
AT CHICAGO BIG
STEP in "tiny"art of nanofabrication What began as a
just-for-fun experiment resulted in a new technique for producing structures at
the scale of atoms and molecules. The "self-assembly"technique developed
by physics professor Heinrich Jaeger and Ward Lopes, SM'99, PhD'01, precisely
controls the growth of metal wires along tiny scaffolds that automatically assemble
themselves, following nature's own tendencies.
