    Abstract: A pneumatic controller for controllably providing pressurized gas to a target location is disclosed. The pneumatic controller can include an elastomeric manifold comprising a body and a first membrane coupled to a lower portion of the body. The body and the first membrane can form a first integrated channel having a first inlet, a first outlet, and an exhaust, and the first integrated channel is configured to receive pressurized gas at a first pressure at the first inlet and provide the pressurized gas to the first outlet. The body also has a sufficient stiffness to withstand an elevated pressure of the pressurized gas. The pneumatic controller can also include an actuator configured to change the first membrane from a first configuration to a second configuration to control a flow of the pressurized gas in the first integrated channel.

    Abstract: Methods for fabricating nanostructures and articles associated therewith are described. In some embodiments, an isolated nanostructure (e.g., a metal nanowire) or an array of nanostructures can be fabricated by depositing a material (e.g., a metal) on a surface having a plurality of protrusions or indentations. At least a portion of the deposited material may be embedded in an encapsulating material, and the encapsulating material can be cut, for instance, to form a thin slice that includes the deposited material at least partially embedded therein. In some instances, the slice can be positioned on a surface in a desired arrangement. The encapsulating material can be removed from the surface to form one or more isolated nanostructures of the deposited material. Advantageously, dimensions of the nanostructures can be controlled to, e.g., 15 run, to form nanostructures having a variety of shapes and geometries (e.g., wires, rings, and cylinders). Nanostructures can also be formed in a variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, and polymers. In addition, nanostructures can also be fabricated over large areas (e.g., greater than 1 mm 2 ). In some cases, these nanostructures are positioned in association with other components, e.g., to form a functional component of a device.
