Daniel S. Burgess

Dense, high-resolution patterns of various biological molecules have been fabricated using direct laser printing with a source of 500-fs ultraviolet pulses. Demonstrated at the Foundation for Research and Technology — Hellas’ Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser and the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, both in Heraklion, Greece, the printing technique has potential applications in the preparation of biosensors and microarray chips. Femtosecond pulses of ultraviolet laser radiation free biological molecules from a substrate and transfer them to a target. The direct...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
