System-Level Design for Nano-Electronics

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Luca Benini, Shashi Kanth Bobba

Latest fabrication technologies of self-assembly nano-circuits (carbon nanotubes, silicon nanowires, etc.) have deployed bottom-up techniques that reach feature sizes well below 65nm, holding great promise for future large silicon-based integrated circuits ...

Boron-doped diamond (BDD)-supported Pt/Sn nanoparticles synthesized in microemulsion systems as electrocatalysts of ethanol oxidation

Christos Comninellis, György Foti, Guillaume Siné

Bimetallic Pt/Sn nanoparticles, synthesized by the microemulsion method, have been investigated once deposited on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) substrate electrode. Nanoparticles are in the nano-size domain and their effective composition corresponds to thei ...

Anisotropic nanoporous coating

Heinrich Hofmann, Laurent-Dominique Piveteau

Porous coating production, e.g. for medical implant, involves depositing first mono-layer(s) of temporary particles on surface, depositing coating(s) on particles, eliminating temporary particles forming pores, and coating fixation step NOVELTY - Producing ...

Inkjet-Based Deposition of Micro/Nano-Objects on Functional Surfaces - Controlling and Exploiting Self-Assembly across Length-Scales

Jürgen Brugger, Vahid Fakhfouri, Grégory Mermoud

In this project, we intend to use inkjet-based delivery of functional liquid droplets on pre-structured surfaces for the directed (self-)assembly of micro/nano-objects as experimental platform to build up and validate multi-level models of micro-droplet de ...

Integration of sub-wavelength nanofluidics with photonic crystals

Demetri Psaltis

"Optofluidics" represents the marriage of optics, optoelectronics and nanophotonics with fluidics. Such integration represents a new approach for dynamic manipulation of optical properties at length scales both greater than and smaller than the wavelength ...

The cooperation of swarm-bots: physical interactions in collective robotics

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, Mirco Dorigo, Luca Maria Gambardella

We present a new type of robot concept called swarm-bot, based on cooperative and swarm intelligence, that was developed within an interdisciplinary project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies of the European Commission. A swarm-bot is an ass ...

Organization of nanoscale objects via polymer demixing

Horst Vogel, Harry Heinzelmann, Martha Liley, Caterina Minelli

We present an extremely versatile method for the lateral organization of nano-scale objects (NOs) based on the phenomenon of polymer demixing. NOs are suspended in a soln. of two immiscible polymers, which is used to form a thin polymer film by spin coatin ...

Position Feedback for Microrobots based on Scanning Probe Microscopy

Hannes Bleuler, Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen, Ashwin Lal

A cluster of small cooperative robots capable of executing measurement and manipulation tasks is being developed within the scope of a European project. The robots are autonomous and have an overall dimension in the order of 1 cm/sup 3/. In this paper we p ...

SWARM-BOT: From Concept to Implementation

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, André Guignard, Michael Bonani, Michel Lauria

This paper presents a new robotic concept, called SWARM-BOT, based on a swarm of autonomous mobile robots with self-assembling capabilities. SWARM-BOT takes advantage from collective and distributed approaches to ensure robustness to failures and to hard e ...
