Printing With Enzymes

Roland Piquepaille writes "Researchers at Duke University have developed a new printing technique using catalysts to create microdevices such as labs-on-a-chip. Their inkless printing technique uses enzymes from E. coli bacteria and has an accuracy of less than 2 nanometers. While they're are now using enzymes to stamp nanopatterns without ink, the research team is already working with non-enzymatic catalysts. And it added that 'future versions of the inkless technique could be used to build complex nanoscale devices with unprecedented precision.'"

To the Roland haters.

I was one of them. But since Roland is no longer linking to his own blog, I have no problem with him. Quite honestly, the majority of his submissions are better than the majority of the other submissions. I am not sure what is up with the vendetta any more.

except that this one links to something with his name in the banner. I guess people using slashdot as advertising space for themselves is fine, as long as it is transparent.

Yeah... if you click on his name. If you click on the article link you do not go to his blog.

But it's fun, you have to admit it. The 'ohnoitsroland' tag has become another beowulf cluster joke :) I've tagged one of his stories that way, too.
