The aim of this project is to convert self-assembled lipids into metal nanostructures by using them as a template for metallization. Nanofabrication is the key technology in semiconductor industry, medicine and biomedical engineering. Photolithography is the current standard technique in industries. Self-assembly have their advantages compared to photolithography such as higher throughput, lower cost, and the ability to create nanostructures (e.g. spheres and tubes) that are impossible to fabricate with photolithography.
