Nanomanufacturing technologies are driven by numerous applications, such as biosensing, electrical and optical devices. AFM-based nanomanufacturing is able to produce arbitrary nanopatterns in a fast and low-cost manner. Combining with nanoimprint and soft lithography, this maskless technology has great potentials in delivering customized and scalable 2D&3D nanopatterns and nanodevices.

Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (3D Printed Capsule Shells):

Current pharmaceutical manufacturing is not suitable for personalized dosage forms. Although convenient to deliver various drugs, current gelatin capsules using animal collagen protein have many limitations, such as releasing drugs too fast and incompatibility with some diets. In contrast, 3D printed capsules have great potential to advance individualized treatments.
