New Stamping Process to Produce Precise Biomolecular Structures at Nanoscale

Making accurate biomolecular structures at small scales is significant to the advancement of nanotechnology and other related fields. Traditionally, this has been accomplished by using rubber stamps with small features that are enclosed with molecular "inks" and later stamping onto substrate surfaces to produce a molecular pattern. However, molecules tend to disperse on the surface during and after the process of stamping and blur the patterns.
