-
A.
dip-pen nanolithography
chosen
Dip-pen nanolithography is a scanning probe-based nanofabrication technique that uses an atomic force microscope tip to directly "write" nanoscale patterns of molecules onto a substrate with high precision.
-
B.
EUV lithography
EUV lithography is an advanced semiconductor manufacturing technique that uses extremely short-wavelength ultraviolet light to create ultra-fine patterns on microchips, enabling the production of cutting-edge integrated circuits.
-
C.
Plenty of Room at the Bottom
"Plenty of Room at the Bottom" is a famous 1959 lecture by physicist Richard Feynman that is widely regarded as a foundational vision for the field of nanotechnology.
-
D.
Fresnel zone plates
Fresnel zone plates are diffractive optical elements composed of concentric rings that focus light through interference rather than refraction, serving as lens alternatives in applications like X-ray and microscopy.
-
E.
Centre for NEMS and Nanophotonics
The Centre for NEMS and Nanophotonics is a specialized research hub at IIT Madras focused on advanced studies and innovation in nanoelectromechanical systems and nanophotonic technologies.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (3 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
