Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

3M-NANO is the annual International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing, and Measurement on the Nanoscale. The ultimate ambition of this conference series is to bridge the gap between nanosciences and engineering sciences, aiming at technology opportunities and new markets. The advanced technologies for manipulation, manufacturing, and measurement at nanoscale promise novel revolutionary products and methods in numerous areas of application. Specific topics include but are not limited to:

  • Nanohandling robots and systems
  • Nanofabrication and nanoassembly
  • Nanometrology and nanocharacterization
  • Nanopositioning and nanomanipulation
  • Nanosensing and microscopy
  • AFM and SEM for nanohandling
  • Process automation at nanoscale
  • Self-assembly at nanoscale
  • Nanoscale robotics
  • Nanolithography
  • Nanoenergy
  • 2D materials
  • Nanomaterials and applications
  • Graphene and applications
  • Nanoparticles, nanowires and nanotubes
  • Nanoelectronics and nanomagnetics
  • Nanophotonics and photonic crystals
  • Nanomechanics and nanomechatronics
  • NEMS and their applications
  • Nanofluidics
  • DNA detection and sequencing
  • Bio–nano devices and applications
  • Bio-nanoimaging and nanomeasurement

This Special Issue will publish selected papers from 3M-NANO 2019, 4–8 August 2019 in Zhenjiang, China. These papers will be peer-reviewed for validation of research results, developments, and applications. In addition, submissions from others that are not associated with this conference but with themes focusing on manipulation, manufacturing, and measurement on the nanoscale are also warmly welcome.

We hope that this Special Issue benefits the efficient sharing of the latest significant results and inspired viewpoints on an international scale and thus propels the research on manipulation, manufacturing, and measurement on the nanoscale across the globe.

Micro-stereolithography (MSL) has emerged as a promising and challenging technique in micro-/nano-scale additive manufacturing. Besides the requirement of the light source, the motion system requires ultra-high-precision tracking capability to reach the right location for every solidification event. To achieve single-digit micron feature size of the fabrication, we propose a robust control strategy to support a self-developed cost-effective MSL prototype based on a compliant nanomanipulator and a blue light-emitting diode (LED) module. In particular, the nonlinearity and parameter-variation of the compliant manipulator are dealt with by a robust radial basis function (RBF)-based neural network, and the repetitive control (RC) is innovatively integrated with RBF to improve the tracking performance of a closed pattern. Various simulations and real-time experiments are conducted to validate the proposed control strategy. The fabrication of a closed pattern will not begin by turning on the laser source until the tracking error reaches submicrons, and the fabrication results demonstrate that the cost-effective MSL system is capable of fabricating 2.5 µm feature size in a 0.5 mm working range.
