Columbia Engineering researchers, working with
Brookhaven National Laboratory, report today that they have built
designed nanoparticle-based 3D materials that can withstand a
vacuum, high temperatures, high pressure, and high radiation. This
new fabrication process results in robust and fully engineered
nanoscale frameworks that not only can accommodate a variety of
functional nanoparticle types but also can be quickly processed
with conventional nanofabrication methods.
