Research Details Sticky Situations at the Nanoscale

by Jeff Hopkins, on 5/13/19 9:00 AM

Brown University researchers have gained an insight with implications for nano-engineering: miniscule differences in the roughness of surfaces can have surprising and important effects on how they stick together. The implications are important for designing micro-electro-mechanical systems, which have micro- and nanoscale moving parts. Another application could be using nanoscale patterning of surfaces to make solar panels that resist a build-up of dust, which robs them of their efficiency.
