R&D 100, 2016: Stress-Induced Fabrication

Multimedia ·
OSTI ID:1334662
Stress-induced fabrication (SIF) uses compressive mechanical stress to create new nanomaterials with lower production costs and enhanced materials performance compared to traditional fabrication routes. Simple, innovative, and with more degrees of freedom than current chemical synthesis methods, SIF uses physical force instead of chemistry applied to form new nanomaterials with precisely controlled structure and tunable properties.
