Robot Developed for Automated Assembly of Designer Nanomaterials
Robot Developed for Automated Assembly of Designer Nanomaterials

A researchers group of Satoru Masubuchi developed a robot that can identify, collect, and manipulate two-dimensional nanocrystals. The robot stacked nanocrystals to form the most complex van der Waals heterostructure produced to date, with much less human intervention than the manual operations previously used to produce van der Waals heterostructures. This robot allows unprecedented access to van der Waals heterostructures, which are attractive for use in advanced electronics.
