Abstract: An ultra-hard carbon film is formed by the uniaxial compression of thin films of graphene. The graphene films are two or three layers thick (2-L or 3-L). High pressure compression forms a diamond-like film and provides improved properties to the coated substrates.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for using localized source of heat, such as thermal scanning probe lithography (tSPL), for the low-cost and high-throughput fabrication of biological tissue replicas.

Abstract: Method for magnetic nanopatterning of a substrate 10, said substrate comprising a first ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic phase FM and a second antiferromagnetic phase AF, said FM and AF phases being coupled by exchange bias in such a way to form an exchange bias system; said method comprising submitting said substrate to a magnetic field Hw so as to set the magnetization of said first phase FM in the direction of said magnetic field Hw, while heating predefined portions of said antiferromagnetic phase AF up to a writing temperature TW at which the exchange bias can be influenced, equipment for carrying out said method and substrate nanopatterned according to said method.

Abstract: Improved nanolithography components, systems, and methods are described herein. The systems and methods generally employ a resistively heated atomic force microscope tip to thermally induce a chemical change in a surface. In addition, certain polymeric compositions are also disclosed.
