„The peptides that formed showed patterns similar to those created on the ground, indicating that their motion is not influenced by microgravity. Suppression of convection in microgravity did result in more sophisticated nanopatterns by reducing adsorption of unexpected aggregates. Semiconductor material made of the space-produced nanotemplates will likely have higher quality and performance, advancing development of high-performance computers and blue LED light applications as well as reducing semiconductor manufacturing costs.“(…)
Experiment Description
Research Overview
Production of Two Dimensional NanoTemplate in Microgravity (2D-NanoTemplate) fabricates large and highly oriented nano-scale two-dimensional arranged peptide arrays by suppressing convection, sedimentation, and buoyancy.
