Shear patterning of microdominos: a new class of procedures for making micro- and nanostructures.

Communications Tipping large arrays of micrometer-scale dominos onto their side generates complex 3D topographies and arrays of nanoscale electrodes. These microdominos collapse in parallel when a shearing force is applied uniformly to an array of free-standing pillars. For more information, see the Communication by G. M. Whitesides and co-workers on the following pages.
