From a bedroom filled with electronic experiments to lecturing at Harvard University… Adam has been a “gadgeteer” since he was 5 years old, creating gadgets and electronic devices from parts other people threw away.

Lego

At age 15 he visited Princeton University where he saw a demonstration of a scanning tunnelling electron microscope. Afterwards, he went home and built one out of LEGO parts.

The design was the inspiration behind his award-winning Electrochemical Paintbrush - a device that “paints” tiny lines of copper so small it can print 50 words end-to-end in a space the width of a human hair. At that stage it was 16 times smaller than the current device used to make microchips!
