New generation of positioning device

University United Kingdom

Researchers at Northumbria University have developed the prototype for a new generation of positioning device that operates with nanometre precision. This ground-breaking technology could help increase the ease and accuracy of laboratory work in crucial fields such as stem cell research.

Called Nanomobile, the patent-pending design harnesses the piezoelectric effect to produce a uniquely smooth movement. Nanomobile’s ability to position objects precisely over a 10 centimetre range with six degrees of freedom means it opens up new possibilities for scientists and engineers - especially in the life sciences, micro-electro-mechanical systems and semiconductor industries.
