Watch | Tech Under Two: Water-based Nanomanufacturing

In this episode of Tech Under 2, we dive into a groundbreaking innovation in the world of nanotechnology.

Researchers at Tufts University, led by Professor Fiorenzo Omenetto, have developed a revolutionary nanomanufacturing approach that uses water as the primary solvent. This eco-friendly method could transform the way we produce microchips and other nanodevices, making the process safer for the environment without compromising on performance.

Learn how this new technique overcomes the challenges of working with hydrophobic materials and how the use of silk fibroin—a protein from silk—enhances water’s ability to evenly coat surfaces. Discover the potential of this technology to pave the way for advanced biosensors, processors, and a host of other applications in computers, smartphones, solar cells, and more.

This is The Future of Eco-Friendly Microchip Production.
