Providing fundamental insights in atomic interactions, dedicated methods in atomic force microscopy allow measuring the threshold forces needed to move single adsorbed atoms or molecules. However, the chemical and structural properties of the probe‐tip can drastically influence the results. Establishing atomically defined contacts in such experiments, the tips in the present study are functionalized...
In article number 2100724, Deyang Ji, Liqiang Li, Harald Fuchs, and co‐workers summarize recent advances of nanospheres lithography in organic electronics, including their applications in versatile organic electronic devices, such as organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), OFET‐based sensors, vertical organic light‐emitting transistors (VOLETs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaic...
Nanospheres lithography (NSL) is an economical technique, which makes use of highly monodispersed nanospheres such as deposition or etch masks for generating patterns with nanoscale features. Embedding nanostructures into organic electronic devices can endow them with unique capabilities and enhanced performance, which have greatly advanced the development of organic electronics. In this review, a...
Advanced fabrication of surface metal–organic complexes with specific coordination configuration and metal centers will facilitate to exploit novel nanomaterials with attractive electronic/magnetic properties. The precise on‐surface synthesis provides an appealing strategy for in situ construction of complex organic ligands from simple precursors autonomously. In this paper, distinct organic ligands...
Copper tetracyanoquinodimethane (CuTCNQ) has been investigated around 40 years as a representative bistable material. Meanwhile, micro/nanostructures of CuTCNQ is considered as the prototype of molecular electronics, which have attracted the world's attention and shown great potential applications in nanoelectronics. In this review, methods for synthesis of CuTCNQ micro/nanostructures are first summarized...
Dip‐pen nanolithography (DPN) is a unique nanofabrication tool that can directly write a variety of molecular patterns on a surface with high resolution and excellent registration. Over the past 20 years, DPN has experienced a tremendous evolution in terms of applicable inks, a remarkable improvement in fabrication throughput, and the development of various derivative technologies. Among these developments,...
Microfluidic encapsulated allergen arrays are created by M. Hirtz and co‐workers on page 5330 using polymer pen lithography (PPL). These arrays are utilized in mast cell activation studies on a single cell level. The overall setup enables easy handling of cell suspension, incubation, and read‐out by fluorescence microscopy, allowing immune cell activation screening to be easily adapted for diagnostics...
The profiling of allergic responses is a powerful tool in biomedical research and in judging therapeutic outcome in patients suffering from allergy. Novel insights into the signaling cascades and easier readouts can be achieved by shifting activation studies of bulk immune cells to the single cell level on patterned surfaces. The functionality of dinitrophenol (DNP) as a hapten in the induction of...
