A 4D Nanoprinter for Making and Manipulating Macroscopic Materials
Abstract
The goal of this project is to address this deficiency by developing a nanoprinter that is enabled by simultaneous advances in massively parallel cantilever-free scanning probe lithography and novel chemistries that allow orthogonal control over material properties. This nanoprinter will be able to pattern materials in 3D with in situ control over the composition of each nanoscale element, endowing it with control over three spatial dimensions as well as functionality (thus, 4D nanoprinting and the equivalent of a "color" 3D printer).
