Northeastern University’s NanoOPS System Makes Inroads into Nanoscale Electronics Manufacturing

The field of nanomanufacturing of electronics is potentially huge, and there are a wide range of materials such as nanoparticles, nanotubes and quantum dots, that are coming to the marketplace. Still, there are hurdles to overcome before manufacturing becomes mainstream. It is expensive to produce these nanoscale electronics, which are largely silicon-based, and a fabrication facility can cost more than a billion dollars. Being able to mass-produce low-cost nanoscale electronics systems wo...
