Understanding Molecular Conduction

Online Presentations | 08 Jul 2004 | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

It is common to differentiate between two ways of building a nanodevice: a topdown approach where we start from something big and chisel out what we want and abottom-up approach where we start from something small like atoms or molecules andassemble what we want. When it comes to describing...

Probing Molecular Conduction with Scanning Probe Microscopy

Online Presentations | 08 Jul 2004 | Contributor(s): Mark Hersam

Exponential Challenges, Exponential Rewards - The Future of Moore's Law

Online Presentations | 14 Dec 2004 | Contributor(s): Shekhar Borkar

Three exponentials have been the foundation of today's electronics, which are often taken for granted—namely transistor density, performance, and energy. Moore's Law captures the impact of these exponentials. Exponentially increasing transistor integration capacity, and...

Single Electron Switching with Nano-Electromechanical Systems and Applications in Ion Channel Transport

Online Presentations | 01 Nov 2004 | Contributor(s): Robert H. Blick

Taking classes in physics always starts with Newtonian mechanics. In reducing the size of the objects considered however the transition into the quantum mechanical regime has to occur. The 'mechanics' of quantum mechanics is best studied in nano-structured semiconductor systems often termed...

Linking Bio and Nano... an Extended Discussion 2004-2005

Series | 12 Dec 2004

Connecting artificial nanotechnology to biological systems is a topic of great interest these days, but the interfaces between electronic, mechanical, and biological systems have always been less than intimate.

Computational Prototyping Tools For Biological Applications

Online Presentations | 03 Dec 2004 | Contributor(s): Jacob White

Computational tools are playing a rapidly expanding role in biology, both for engineering design and in exploratory science. The main reason is that the dramatic improvements in the measurement and mathematical modeling of basic biochemical and biological processes is making it possible to...

Construction of an Imitating Nano-motor Driven by Six ATP-binding RNAs of Bacterial Virus phi29

Online Presentations | 02 Dec 2004 | Contributor(s): Peixuan Guo

A switchable imitating DNA-packaging motor was constructed in the laboratory. The motor is driven by six synthetic ATP-binding pRNA (packaging RNA) molecules that bind to the connector and function in a manner similar to the driving of a bolt with a hex nut. Conformational change and sequential...

Interfacing Carbon Nanotubes with Biological Systems: From Biosensors to Cellular Transporters

Online Presentations | 21 Oct 2004 | Contributor(s): Hongjie Dai

This talk will discuss two relatively new topics in carbon nanotube research. The first is nanotubes for chemical and biological sensors, an exploration motivated by the ultra high surface area of single walled carbon nanotubes and the need for label free electronic detectors for a wide range of...

Bioinformatics and Systems Biology: At the Crossroads of Biology, Engineering, and Computation

Online Presentations | 08 Oct 2004 | Contributor(s): Shankar Subramaniam

Traditional biological research has relied on a "deconstructive" mode where piece-wise analysis of the components of complex systems was carried out in detail. The genome projects have spurred the discovery of new genes/molecules to add to the existing inventory of "parts" that make up living...
