Abstract

Disclosed are methods for fabricating integrated nano-scale and micro-scale structures. Also disclosed are carbon nanopipettes, shovels, and sheets made by these methods. Nano-scale and micro-scale structures fabricated by the disclosed methods are useful in a variety of application, for example, nanoelectrodes, functionalized probes for chemical and biological sensing, nanopipettes for fluid and macromolecule transfer, and devices for the dispensing and deposition of nanodrops.
