Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and Northeastern University president Joseph E. Aoun headlined an announcement event highlighting a new consortium of industry and university partners working on new methods to create smart sensors and other revolutionary materials using “nanoscale” printing processes, called the Advanced Nanomanufacturing Cluster for Smart Sensors and Materials.
 
The consortium will work with the Nanoscale Offset Printing System (NANO-OPS), a manufacturing technology pioneered by Northeastern University’s Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing. NANO-OPS can print nanoscale sensors and devices as small as 20 nm (or more than 1,000 times thinner than a human hair), on a variety of surfaces, and 100 to 1,000 times faster than current inkjet-based electronic and 3D printing.  

Due to their electrical, mechanical, and optical properties, nanomaterials have the potential to revolutionize the sensing industry. Smart sensors created with these nanomaterials will have a significant impact on advancing connected technologies, with medical, defense, and energy applications. Increased research and development in this field will have significant impacts on commercial products, which range from high-precision sensors used to monitor premature babies in hospital neonatal units, to devices that track water quality, or wearable devices that monitor biometric data.
