Blog Post Image: Invention jet prints nanostructures with self-assembling material

This atomic force microscope image shows two different printed lines of block copolymers, colored and scaled by the microscope’s software. Each block copolymer has a different molecular weight and therefore has a different size and spacing of its structural components. The repeating structures at left have a spacing of 41 nanometers, while those at right have spacing of 27 nanometers. Image courtesy of Serdar Onses/University of Illinois-Urbana
