The technique can induce, for a brief period of time, "superelastic" behavior to different metals by applying high-energy laser shots, which enables the metal to flow into the
nanoscale features of the rolling stamp -- circumventing the formability limit.

The growth in the electronic and electric industry is also expected to fuel the global
nanoscale chemicals market during the forecast period.
Under the EPA proposal--which was released in early April --certain chemical substances would be subject to reporting and recordkeeping requirements under TSCA when manufactured or processed at the
nanoscale. These requirements would also apply to imported materials.
At the
nanoscale, it turns out, the usual strength-weight-density rules do not apply to materials.
The best way to understand the potential is by comparing this machine technology to the leading
nanoscale technology in the world today.
Another presenter, Axel Lorke, the Director of the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen, not only discussed the future of nanotechnology in microdevices with
nanoscale features but pointed out that nanotechnology is already all around us, and not just in materials applications.
In March 2009, FHWA's EAR Program held a workshop with experts from academia and other Federal programs to discuss
nanoscale research and the role it can play in key highway research issues such as infrastructure, safety, operations, and environment.
Environmental applications of
nanoscale and microscale reactive metal particles.
Nanoscale patterning is becoming pretty sophisticated these days.
"One important point to understand is that foods naturally contain ingredients at the
nanoscale, including the proteins found in milk (even breast milk).
