66 -- Submicron Translation Rotation Positioning Motor

Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California, has developed an innovative piezo-electric motor capable of multi-dimensional positioning with submicrometer precision. This technology has been integrated into a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), enhancing its capabilities. Sandia is seeking partnerships with industry to advance the development and integration of this motor and STM for a range of near-term and future applications. Interested parties are invited to express their interest by contacting Alane Dulski via mail or fax by April 23, 2002, providing the date and title of the notice along with the type of partnering agreements they seek. The contract, titled "66 -- Submicron Translation Rotation Positioning Motor," was posted on April 9, 2002, under solicitation number 02-227. While specific details such as set-aside types, NAICS codes, and agency information are not provided, the focus is on collaborative development efforts to capitalize on the precise positioning capabilities of the new motor within the STM. Potential partners are encouraged to engage promptly to explore opportunities for joint development and commercialization.
