New Technique Could Speed Mass Production of Nanotech Devices
(January 25, 2007) Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Professors Vincent Donnelly and Demtre Economou, along with Assistant Professor Paul Ruchhoeft of electrical and computer engineering, have filed a patent for a new nanotech fabrication technique know as nanopantography. The new development promises to remove some of the largest practical barriers to mass-producing nanotech devices.

Professor Studying Scalability in Nanotechnology
(January 17, 2007) Dmitri Litvinov, associate professor of electrical & computer engineering and chemical & biomolecular engineering, received a grant from the U.S. Navy to research how magnetic materials behave in the nano-realm. Litvinov will be researching issues of scalability to determine why properties change on the nanoscale in an effort to develop physical guidelines for scaling. The $150,000 grant will support Litvinov's theoretical and experimental work for three years.
