Physicists suppress ‘stiction’ force that bedevils microscale machinery

By Patrick Crampton|2017-06-01T14:01:59-07:00April 19th, 2014|Artificial Molecular Machines, Atomically Precise Manufacturing (APM), Computational nanotechnology, Feynman Path, MEMS, Molecular manufacturing, Molecular Nanotechnology, Nano, Nanodot, Nanoscale Bulk Technologies, Nanotech, Nanotechnology, Productive Nanosystems, Research, Roadmaps|

A possible top-down path to atomically precise manufacturing that passes through microscale machinery might be rendered easier because of recent progress in suppressing the Casimir force, which contributes to the 'stiction' problem often encountered with microelectromechanical systems.

Nanoscale Wear

By Patrick Crampton|2017-06-01T14:22:13-07:00September 10th, 2009|Feynman Path, MEMS, Nanodot, Nanotechnology|

One of the major problems for micromachines, much less nanomachines, is wear. The phenomenon of stiction combines the two worst aspects of surface-to-surface interaction -- a high coefficient of friction [...]

Haptics

By Patrick Crampton|2017-06-01T14:05:24-07:00August 7th, 2009|Feynman Path, Nanodot|

There's a nice article over at the Singularity Hub that's a round-up of currently-available haptics devices. They seem primarily excited over the prospects of haptics in gaming, but there are [...]
