Engineering at the limits of complexity with molecular-scale parts

The current system of scientific recognition and funding has significant bias towards work published in the top few percent of journal…

Pipettes are the equivalent in biology of the keyboard for computer science: a key tool that enables interface with the subject matter. In …

In a given organization, thousands of pages of material are printed only to be read once and discarded. We are developing a desktop printer…

We are developing tabletop and desktop printers capable of directly printing both structure and function in two and three dimensions. To da…

We are developing materials and methods for the printing of high-quality, inorganic semiconductor devices. By exploiting the reduced meltin…

Books with printed pages are unique in that they embody the simultaneous, high-resolution display of hundreds of pages of information. The …

This project focuses on fabricating precision micro-machine systems in one, two, and three dimensions. The typical systems are smaller than…

We are synthesizing artificial materials for manipulating electromagnetic waves. These materials have a negative index of refraction, allow…

A wind-up energy prototype that utilizes an ergonomic, resonant mechanism to efficiently harvest human power. In the developed world, the B…

Current biological research workflows make use of disparate, poorly integrated systems that impose a large mental burden on the scientist, …

MEMS have been built by patterning nanoparticle colloids of metals, insulators, and release materials. Nanoparticle colloids permit greater…

Microencapsulated electrophoretic displays offer low power, flexibility, high contrast, bistability, and flexibility for a wide range of ap…

We are developing techniques to use a focused ion beam to program the fabrication of nanowires-based nanostructures and logic devices.

The printing of nanoparticle-based inks has been extended to produce three-dimensional structures consisting of hundreds of layers. Linear …
