How to make droplets chase each other and self-assemble into devices - 0 views

  •  
    Droplets can be made to chase each other around a track and even self-assemble into devices, simply by mixing two everyday liquids. This remarkable discovery made by scientists in the US has already been used to create beautiful shapes and patterns, and could also be exploited to create optical components that assemble themselves and even to clean surfaces. It looks very like Jojo's self-assembling balls :p

Fully automated satellite-assembly lines? Not quite yet - SpaceNews.com - 0 views

  •  
    While robots began assisting and replacing assembly line workers in automobile and airplane factories years ago, humans still reign supreme in satellite manufacturing. But that's slowly starting to change.

New structures self-assemble in synchronized dance - 3 views

  •  
    With self-assembly guiding the steps and synchronization providing the rhythm, a new class of materials forms dynamic, moving structures in an intricate dance. Researchers have demonstrated tiny spheres that synchronize their movements as they self-assemble into a spinning microtube.

    This is quite similar to the following paper. Here they show how tiny variations of particle parameters can produce clearly distinct structures: Thermal and Athermal Swarms of Self-Propelled Particles --> http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.0180

Gadget Genius - nanotechnology breakthrough is big deal for electronics : The Universit... - 2 views

    Quote: "This is exactly what we are pursuing - self-assembling materials that organize at smaller sizes, say, less than 20 or even 10 nanometers"

    Direct Self-Assembly (DSA) is one of the competitors for the next-generation 'lithography' together with direct-write via electron beam and the more traditional extreme UV (EUV) lithography. Although there are huge benefits to use DSA, the technology does have some drawbacks when it comes to line edge roughness. It seems however particularly good for repetitive structures that are used in memory chips. As long as EUV is struggling to get it working, DSA definitely has a fighting chance to enter the market one day.

Small cube robots that self-assemble - 3 views

  •  
    Using the angular momentum transmitted by an internal flywheel as an impulse, these cubes can move, jump, roll across the ground and climb over and around one another. They stick together using a set of small magnets, smart !

    That is indeed a great way of using modular robots to build larger structures. I think we did bump into this some time back, but never really considered it much. Considering now the working group on structure assembling, I think we should add it to the list of building strategies and seriously consider it.

Self-assembly of nano-rotors - 1 views

  • the coveted dream of using self-organization effects in such a way that nano machines assemble themselves is still a thing of the future. The rotors developed in Garching are an important step in this direction.

Self-assembled biomimetic antireflection coatings - 0 views

  •  
    The authors report a simple self-assembly technique for fabricating antireflection coatings that mimic antireflective moth eyes. Wafer-scale, nonclose-packed colloidal crystals with remarkable large hexagonal domains are created by a spin-coating technolo

    Nice read! It is actually part of the Ariadna PETE study of one of the teams. You can supervise if you want :)

SpaceX Undercut Competition to Clinch Head turning Iridium Deal | SpaceNews.com - 0 views

  •  
    very nice success by what we called in 2003 "the second space age" ... for Joris: (related to the discussion we had the other day) But the spacecraft will be assembled, integrated and tested in the United States and will include U.S. hardware, meaning they would not be allowed for launch aboard Indian or Chinese rockets under current U.S. regulations.
