Microcontact printing (microCP) is an effective way to generate micrometer- or submicrometer-sized patterns on a variety of substrates. However, the fidelity final pattern depends critically coupled phenomena stamp deformation, fluid transfer between surfaces, and ability ink self-assemble substrate. In particular, deformation can produce undesirable effects that limit practice precision microCP. Experimental observations comparison with theoretical predictions are presented here for three...
Complete automation of the macromolecular crystallography experiment has been achieved at SSRL through combination robust mechanized experimental hardware and a flexible control system with an intuitive user interface. These highly reliable systems have enabled experiments to be carried out from researchers' home institutions other remote locations while retaining complete over even most challenging systems. A breakthrough component system, Stanford Auto-Mounter (SAM), efficient mounting...
New software tools are introduced to facilitate diffraction experiments involving large numbers of crystals. While existing programs have long provided a framework for lattice indexing, Bragg spot integration, and symmetry determination, these initial data processing steps often require significant manual effort. This limits the timely availability analysis needed high-throughput procedures, including selection best crystals from sample pool, calculation optimal collection parameters assure...

A family of hybrid organic–inorganic network materials—the star gels and glasses—has been synthesized from highly functional poly(alkoxysilane) molecular precursors. The starting silanes comprise an atomic, linear or cyclic core with multiple flexible arms which terminate in network-forming trialkoxysilane groups. With typically 12 alkoxysilane groups per molecule, gelation rates aqueous formic acid media can be extremely high, but attenuated several orders magnitude by choice solvent...

We surveyed more than 150 different materials as candidates for optically tunable (at 248 nm and 193 nm), attenuating embedded phase-shift masks. Multicomponent with four distinct microstructures: (1) composites, (2) cermets, (3) multilayers, (4) copolymers, where one component was clear at the application wavelength other absorbing, provided a systematic approach adjusting needed optical properties: specifically, transmission (pi) -phase-shift. From evaluation of properties mask...
