Studying the Smallest of Jets: Research Shows Potential of "Nanojets" for Smaller Circuitry & Injecting Genes

Link to News Release

Liquid jets a few nanometers in diameter could one day be used for producing ever-smaller electronic circuitry, injecting genes into cells, etching tiny features and even serving as fuel injectors for microscopic engines. But on these smallest of size scales, physical processes are often different than at larger scales, forcing engineers to reconsider both their expectations of how such nanoscale devices would perform -- and the established physical equations governing them. .
