Gary graduated from the University of Manchester with a first-class honours degree in Geochemistry and a Masters in Earth Sciences. After working in the Australian mining industry, Gary decided to hang up his geology boots and turn his hand to writing.

When he isn't developing topical and informative content, Gary can usually be found playing his beloved guitar, or watching Aston Villa FC snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

New Stamping Process to Produce Precise Biomolecular Structures at Nanoscale

Making accurate biomolecular structures at small scales is significant to the advancement of nanotechnology and other related fields. Traditionally, this has been accomplished by using rubber stamps with small features that are enclosed with molecular "inks" and later stamping onto substrate surfaces to produce a molecular pattern. However, molecules tend to disperse on the surface during and after the process of stamping and blur the patterns.
