Nanoparticle Synthesis and Assembly for Biological Sensing
Online Presentations | 25 Oct 2005 | Contributor(s):: Gil Lee
Nanoparticles have unique physical and chemical properties that make them very useful for biological and chemical sensing. For example, colloidal gold has been used as an optical transducer for antibody based sensing for over twenty years and is the basis for a many of the point-of-use diagnostic...

A New Terahertz Heterodyne Detector Based on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Online Presentations | 27 Jul 2005 | Contributor(s):: Sigfrid Yngvesson
We present non-invasive methods for improving the sensitivity of label-free biosensors that offer the advantage of rapid and real-time detection but suffer from relatively low sensitivity. We present detection of cancer markers using the Quartz Crystal Microbalance and demonstrate that 2...

DNA Charge Motion: Regimes and Behaviors
Online Presentations | 28 Jul 2005 | Contributor(s):: Mark Ratner
Because DNA is a quasi-one-dimensional species, and because each base is a pi-type chromphore, it was long ago suggested that DNA could conduct electricity. This has become a widely investigated area, and remains of interest for fundamental science and for applications. We will discuss a very...
