The new coating that the team has created consists of a network of linked copper nanowires that can be deposited directly on rigid glass or flexible polymer sheets through a process that is scalable for mass production. (treehugger.com)
In 2002, IBM developed a punch - card system, known as Millipede, using a thin polymer sheet with nanoscopic holes to provide a simple way to store binary data. (newscientist.com)
Experimental physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst today report that they have developed a fast, dynamic new process for wrapping liquid droplets in ultrathin polymer sheets, so what once was a painstaking process taking tens of minutes can now be done in a fraction of a second.
