Scientists use sound waves to produce nanoscale chips

According to the "Daily Science" website, RMIT researchers at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology have made major breakthroughs in the use of sound waves: they use sound waves to control micro and nano-scale manufacturing activities. Researchers have successfully used high-frequency sound waves to precisely control the thin film fluid coverage process on specially designed chips. Related research results were published in the latest edition of Proceedings of the Royal Society A.


Use sound waves to control the chip surface as you wish

Based on thin-film technology chips and microstructure manufacturing processes, researchers have made a big step forward creatively. The possible applications of this research include thin-film coating painting, wound repair, 3D printing, micro-casting and microfluidics.

Professor James Friend, head of the RMIT Micronano Research Center, said that researchers have developed a portable system that can be used in non-traditional micron and nanofabrication processes.

Fland also mentioned: "The existing technology cannot achieve precise control, and fluids may spread due to structural problems. However, the use of sound waves can be controlled on the surface of the chip. According to the thickness, the thin fluid film may be close to or Keep away from high-frequency sound waves."

Researchers call this new technology “acoustowetting,” and the chip used here is made of a material called piezoelectric—a material that converts electrical energy into mechanical pressure.The surface of the chip is covered with microelectrodes, connected to In the power supply, electric energy can be converted into high-frequency sound waves, and then the thin fluid film can be added to control the sound waves.

Snow Ice Maker IMS series automatic snow ice makers are the entire computer-controlled high-tech products.

This series of products have entered the rank of the leading domestic level.

In structure, stainless steel is adopted as enclosures, boasting elegant appearance.

They have characteristics of continuous ice-making, fast ice-making speed and large ice-making capacity etc. They are widely used in hospitals, schools, laboratories, research institutes, food preservation in supermarkets, fishing refrigeration, medical applications, chemical and food processing industries, etc.

This series automatic flake ice makers have adopted Italian Oute Shi Haitec two-stage reducer and Korean GGM motor, featuring low noise, stable and reliable operation.

They have adopted the ice-making and ice-breaking structure with the line of chip ice-making chamber separated from the evaporator, resulting in high ice-making efficiency and large ice-making capacity.

They are fully computer controlled with functions of shutdown protection in case of full of ice and water deficiency, etc.
