Abstract

Research activities in the microand nanomanufacturing areas have dramatically surged since the early 2000s due to the accelerating trend toward miniaturization and the new findings and discoveries in nanoscience. However, the publication venues lack of a focused manufacturing journal to address the need. Most manufacturing journals are allinclusive. JMNM addresses the emerging need for a forum of new findings and discoveries in nonlithographic based microand nanomanufacturing processes and systems.
