Government investment in the manufacture of micromachines could pay huge dividends, but in the meantime, MIT researchers are developing new fabrication techniques.
By turning a common problem in chip manufacture into an advantage, MIT researchers produce structures only 30 atoms wide.
MIT researchers show how to make e-beam lithography, commonly used to prototype computer chips, more practical as a mass-production technique.
