Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed a method to form dome-shaped bumps on nanofilms in water using a computer-guided electron beam. The bumps form within 10 seconds and can be flattened, reshaped or repositioned as needed.
This method may enable computer-guided manipulation of nanomachines for uses such as microscale touch sensing, guiding cellular growth and direct assembly of colloidal particles. The findings were published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
