Korean Scientists Develop New Micro-Assembly Method
A team of Korean researchers has successfully made a micro-mini computer keyboard with almost 70 100-㎛ components by pouring liquids onto boards.
The team led by electrical engineering professor Kwon Sung-hoon of Seoul National University said Sunday that they made a super-mini Eiffel Tower, Greek shrine, and computer keyboard by cutting grooves into boards and pouring liquids containing self-assembling micro-mini components into them. These micro-mini structures are about a couple hundred micrometers (㎛) in size -- and one micrometer is a millionth of a meter.
