NanoWave Announces Breakthrough for Nano-scale Manufacturing

NanoWave, a start-up spun out of M.I.T., announced a highly precise position measurement technology with approximately 13 picometers or 0.013 nanometers resolution. (A nanometer is one billionth of a meter or about the size of an atom. A picometer is 1000 times smaller than that.) The company said applications for this technology presently exist within semiconductor lithography and inspection, mass data storage such as optical disk mastering and magnetic disk servo writing, precision optics manufacturing (diamond turning), and optical fiber alignment.
