Microdisks

These abilities will be tested in three events: a two-millimeter dash in which each nanobot seeks the best time for a goal-to-goal sprint across the playing field; a slalom drill where the path between goals is blocked by "defenders" (polymer posts) and a ball handling drill that requires robots to “dribble” as many “nanoballs” (microdisks with the diameter of a human hair) as possible into the goal within a 3-minute period. ❋ Unknown (2007)

They watched the radioactive coolant lazily convert another flotilla of microdisks into miniature shipwrecks on a poison sea. ❋ Unknown (2004)

The team led by Morthier created indium phosphide (InP) microdisks that are 7.5 micrometers in diameter. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The microdisks worked so well that they could be linked together to form a register analogous to transistor-based registers, whereby each laser flips the next one, explains Van Thourhout. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Light pulses are led to or read out from the laser via waveguides built into the surface of the microchip and coupled to the microdisks. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The microdisks are glued onto a silicon chip, using a polymer known as DVS-BCB. ❋ Unknown (2010)

My mother might have left it at the pharm, but bio microdisks are radiation sensitive, you know, and the whole pharm was hot. " ❋ Unknown (2004)
