Interesting materials reads

* [0807.0378] Nano Imprint Lithography on Silica Sol-gels: a simple route to sequential patterning – multiple layers of stamping for nanophotonic or microfluidic apps. I love microfluidics, what a crazy and fun area * Scale production of nanotube circuits – I’m not sure what they’ve done but scale production is the key problem * Qubits and branes share surprising features – way beyond me… * Cornell researchers figure out how assemble metals in complex nanostructures – a cool new way to form bulk metals * Controlling quantum state via voltage – interesting work on the way to useful quantum computers
