- LMR in the News – LMR personnel has been interviewed for a variety of media over the last few years. We have lost track of many of them, but there are references to a selection of stories based on our work or these interviews. We also won a few awards, some of which are listed here as well.
- Automated nanomanipulation with the AFM – Building nanoparticle patterns automatically. Given a random, initial configuration and a desired, goal state, a planner finds the required trajectories and passes the plan to the PCS software that executes the motions. The software compensates for drift, creep and hysteresis. Without compensation, the process fails most of the time. Video demo.
- Self-repairing self-assembly – Building shapes by using swarms of purely reactive nanorobots. The process is self-healing and exhibits a simple form of self-reproduction. Video demo.
- Active self-assembly – Building shapes by using nanorobots that cooperatively self-organize into the desired shapes. Video demo.
- Nanolithography with multi-tip arrays – Fast nanolithography with Atomic Force Microscopes. Video demo.
- Nanowaveguides – Building waveguides for visible light at dimensions much smaller than the wavelength.
- Manipulation video – Series of screen images showing nanomanipulation with an AFM using LMR’s Probe Control Software. This is a .avi file, about 900kB in length.
- Building nanowires – Wires of arbitrary geometry made by nanomanipulation and electroless deposition.
Layered nanofabrication – 3-D Rapid prototyping at the nanoscale.
- Nanomanipulation in liquids – Pushing nanoparticles in a liquid environment.
- Hierarchical assembly – Linking nanoparticles to form sub-assemblies, and manipulating these to form larger assemblies.
- An editable NanoCD – Potential storage technology that is orders of magnitude denser than current compact disks.
- Going into three dimensions – Pushing a nanoparticle up between two others forming a pyramid-like structure.
- Nanomanipulation on Si – Au balls on a self-assembled silane monolayer on a Si substrate.
- Virtual Nanoworld in VRML – Requires a VRML 2.0 browser that supports elevation grids. Was tested on a PC with CosmoPlayer, and on a Mac with WorldView.
- Simple Nanomanipulation Example – Au balls on mica.
