Limit to Nanotechnology Mass-Production? - University of Cambridge Reveals

In a paper published today, Thursday, 21 April, in IOP Publishing’s journal Nanotechnology, Professor Mike Kelly, Centre for Advanced Photonics and Electronics, University of Cambridge, stated that you cannot mass produce structures with a diameter of three nanometres or less using a top-down approach.
