  • 作者简介:Dr. Ju-Fan Zhang is an Assistant Professor in UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Ireland. He is the Principal Investigator (PI) of over 10 research funding. He has over 40 publications in peer review journals and 7 patents. He gives 17 invited talks in international conferences/seminars in the recent two years. He is a Member of Irish Manufacturing Council (IMC), International Academy of Engineering and Technology (AET), International Society for Nanomanufacturing (ISNM). His research interests mainly include ACSM, fabrication of solid-state nanopore array and medical devices, microneedles, microtextured artifcial joints, geometrical waveguide for AR display;
    Dr. Jens Ducrée holds a Full Professorship of Microsystems in the School of Physical Sciences at Dublin City University (DCU), Ireland. He has been the founding director of FPC@DCU – Ireland’s frst Fraunhofer Project Centre for Embedded Bioanalytical Systems, a joint initiative of Science Foundation Ireland and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Dr. Ducrée is also academic member of the National Centre for Sensor Research (NCSR) and the 3U Joint Institute of Global Health (JIGH), and a principal investigator at the Biodesign Europe (BDE).The main part of his research is directed towards novel microfuidic systems and associated actuation, detection, fabrication and instrumentation technologies for the integration, automation, miniaturization and parallelization of bioanalytical protocols (e.g., immunoassays, nucleic acid testing, general chemistry and cell counting including sample preparation).

摘要: Atomic and close-to-atomic scale manufacturing (ACSM) is the core competence of Manufacturing III. Unlike other conceptions or terminologies that only focus on the atomic level precision, ACSM defines a new realm of manufacturing where quantum mechanics plays the dominant role in the atom/molecule addition, migration and removal, considering the uncertainty principle and the discrete nature of particles. As ACSM is still in its infant stage, only little has been systematically elaborated at the core proposition of ACSM by now, hence there is a need to understand its concept and vision. This article elucidates the development of ACSM and clarifies its proposition, which aims to achieve a clearer understanding on ACSM and direct more effective efforts toward this promising area.
