In a new report now published in Matter, Licong An, and a team of scientists in materials engineering, industrial engineering, and the nanotechnology center at Purdue University, U.S., and Wuhan University, China, described an advanced laser lithography method. The technique facilitated the formation of electronically self-protective liquid metal patterns with feature sizes in the sub-microscale, to form one of the highest resolution metal surface patterns to date. The unique structure and robust patterns offered electrical functionality in spite of external damage. Such high-resolution, electrical, self-protective materials are suited for next-generation nano applications.
