Abstract

The combined approach of bottom-up and top-down routes allows direct soft matter patterning and fabrication of devices using faster and more versatile protocols. In this research news, we briefly describe some of the fundamentals, development, recent progress and perspectives in the fabrication and patterning of functional nanostructured materials by interaction with high energy X-rays.
