Abstract
We apply our shrink-induced approach-first demonstrated with polystyrene 'Shrinky-Dink' sheets-to create micro- and nanostructures with cross-linked polyolefin thin films. These multi-layered films shrink by 95% and with greater uniformity than the Shrinky-Dinks. With such significant reduction in s...

Abstract
We report a generic approach for targeting proteins into micropatterns by in situ laser lithography. To this end, we have designed a photocleavable oligohistidine peptide for caging tris(nitrilo triacetic acid) (tris-NTA) groups on surfaces by multivalent interactions. Local photofragmentation of th...
