the problem for nanoink wasn’t just scalability. companies can be very successful based on one - off products, but there has to be a market for them. nanoink' s lack of a broad market explains how 10 years and $ 150 millions of investment failed to create a successful business, according to harper .
practical nanoink systems were introduced in 2002 by nanoink corporation, a company formed to take advantage of mirkin’s inventions. the company’s nanolithography systems utilize multiple writing tips, made on flexible cantilevers using processes similar to the manufacture of mems and other semiconductors. one of the first commercial applications for the systems was in the repair of defective silicon wafers, onto which microchips are made. defects in production normally cannot be easily repaired, but nanoink lithography offers a way to do that. future applications will, the company says, move toward true nanotechnological applications .
in addition to falling victim to chasing “technology push” rather than “market pull, ” nanoink also fell victim to a common malady of nanotechnology companies: pursuing just about every application for their technology that anyone could imagine .
one of the united state’s first nanotechnology companies, nanoink, has gone belly up, joining a host of high - profile nanotechnology - based companies that have shuttered their doors in the last 12 months: konarka, a123 systems and ener1 .
these other three companies were all tied to the energy markets (solar in the case of konarka and batteries for both a123 and ener1), which are typically volatile, with a fair number of shuttered businesses dotting their landscapes. but nanoink is a venerable old company in comparison to these other three and is more in what could be characterized as the “ picks - and - shovels” side of the nanotechnology business, microscopy tools. nanoink had been around so long that they were becoming known for their charity work in bringing nanotechnology to the third world .
the technology foundation of nanoink was an atomic force microscope - based dip - pen to execute lithography on the nanoscale. this so - called nanolithography would create nanostructures by delivering' ink' via capillary transport from the afm tip to a surface. one thing that always seemed problematic with this technology was that it wasn’t really scalable .
so, what happened? the news tells us that nanoink’s primary financial backer, ann lurie, pulled the plug on her 10 - year and $ 150 - million life support of the company. after a decade of showing little return on her investment, lurie decided that enough was enough. but that’s like explaining that a patient died because their heart stopped. what caused the heart to stop ?
“a major issue is that you have so many markets to take a shot at that you wind up doing nothing properly, ” explains harper. “nanoink had five increasingly desperate divisions. perhaps a better model would have been to realize that dip pen nanolithography was never going to be a mainstream technology, fold the company, write down the investors, and then use the ip and experience to build a few niche companies that addressed a real need. ”
in the race toward nanotechnology, the nanoink corporation has put itself in the running. one of the main obstacles to designing more complex nanotechnologies is that building up machines, chemicals or other structures atom - by - atom has never been done before. while some are using the atomic force microscope to move individual atoms around, or are designing self - assembling molecules through large - scale chemical reactions, nanoink and others are taking another approach. nanoink is both the name of the company and a new technology for building things at the atomic level. it is based on the work of a chemist named chad mirkin, who is a professor at northwestern university. in the late 1990s, mirkin discovered a way to use a device much like an atomic force microscope to deposit tiny amounts of material on a surface in a very precise way. the tip of the microscope can be dipped into a solution containing one or more chemicals or compounds, picking up a droplet. then, when the afm tip is moved to the surface at the desired spot, the droplet forms a sort of bridge or link between tip and surface, greatly improving the accuracy with which materials in the solution can be deposited. the process is like a microscropic version of the ink and quill used for writing before the 20th century. by combining this with other techniques, mirkin’s “dip pen lithography” could build up tiny nanostructures with relative ease .
nanoink, inc. is an emerging growth technology company specializing in nanometer - scale manufacturing and applications development for the life sciences, engineering, pharmaceutical, and education industries. using dip pen nanolithography (dpn) technology, a patented and proprietary nanofabrication technology, scientists are enabled to rapidly and easily create micro - and nanoscale structures from a variety of materials on a range of substrates. this low cost, easy to use and scalable technique brings sophisticated nanofabrication to the laboratory desktop .
as tim harper, ceo of uk - based consulting company, cientifica (full disclosure: i work for cientifica), told me: “nanolithography is interesting on the lab scale, but so is writing down your lab notes with a pen and ink. the rest of the semiconductor works in a mass - produced, highly automated way, so nanoink' s offering was the equivalent of replacing the printing press with a bunch of monks. illuminated manuscripts can look good but if you can' t mass produce things there isn' t a business. ”
bioprinting is an emerging technology for producing tissue - mimetic 3 - d structures using cell - containing hydrogels (bioink). various synthetic and natural hydrogels with key characteristics, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, printability and crosslinkability, have been employed as ink materials in bioprinting. choosing the right cell - containing
bioink
material is the most essential step for fabricating 3 - d constructs with a controlled mechanical and biochemical microenvironment that can lead to successful tissue regeneration and repair. here, we demonstrate that the genetically engineered m13 phage holds great potential for use as a versatile nanoink for printing 3 - d cell - laden matrices. in particular, m13 phages displaying integrin - binding (grgds) and calcium - binding (ddyd) domains on their surface were blended with alginate to successfully form ca (2 +) - crosslinked hydrogels. furthermore, 3 - d cell - laden scaffolds with high cell viability were generated after optimizing the printing process. the mc3t3 - e1 cells within these scaffolds showed enhanced proliferation and differentiation rates that increased proportionally with the concentration of phages in the 3 - d matrices compared with the rates of cells in pure alginate scaffolds .

it is a so infinitesimal space, that it’s enough to put in line ten atoms to fill it up completely. think on the head of a pin, a fairly small space, but entering into the world of nanotechnology, we have found out that even in a that tiny place, there is enough space to write all the twenty - four volumes of the encyclopedia britannica .
for what concerns the printing instead, the nanocolorant is fixed easly on any type of materials, even those which by definition are non suitable to be printed on (the glass could be one of these) drying for touchproof is immediate, while its complete structural drying on some kind of materials must be forced by a polymerization under the programmed temperature, on the others with a normal air drying. the grip on almost all the materials is ensured by the fact that the nanocomponents of this colored fluid can penetrate, and to reticule in consequence all materials thanks to the very small size of its components. of course in case of this kind of colour you cannot expect coverage characteristics as they are not compatible with one coat coverage. this aspect for some may be seen as a disadvantage (forex pvc etc .) to others, a big advantage because in case of luxurious materials is important that the print won’t cover the characteristics of the material and won’t be invasive during various decoration processes .
these pigments represents the most sopfhisticated solution that nanotechnology could ever offer to the industry .
an industrial printing. wood, leather and so on are the ideal materials for this use .
