Research Goal
The objective of this research is to create a revolutionary new way to manufacture at the nanoscale, based on the newly invented molecular gate developed in the Biological Intelligent Processor project below, and to develop the human resources needed to create the nanomanufacturing workforce of the next century. Students from chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical, material science, and mechanical and industrial engineering are being brought together to work as a team on this exciting new paradigm in manufacturing. The goal of this research is to create ultrahigh density arrays of nanoscale elements that can direct the chemical assembly of a diverse group of molecules on substrates and sense both position and composition of the nanoscale structures being created.
