Hot Article: DNA nanofabrication by scanning near-field photolithography of oligo(ethylene glycol) terminated SAMs: Controlled scan-rate dependent switching between head group oxidation and tail group degradation
Control of exposure in near-field lithography enables simple, convenient switching between alternate photochemical reaction pathways say scientists from the UK and China. The team behind the research claim this approach could be used to create biosensors by assembling bio-functionalised nanoparticles onto nanofeatures embedded in an inert background.
