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

4.5 out of 5 stars

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...

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

0.0 out of 5 stars

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...

Computational Prototyping Tools For Biological Applications

5.0 out of 5 stars

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

0.0 out of 5 stars

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

4.0 out of 5 stars

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...

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

0.0 out of 5 stars

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.

Turbocharge Your Scientific Applications with Scripting

4.5 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 29 Apr 2004 | Contributor(s):: Michael McLennan

Scientific applications are built with great care and attention to the core simulation algorithms, often with some input/output added as an afterthought. Instead, you can create a much more powerful tool with little extra effort by replacing the usual "main" program with an embedded...

Nanosystems Biology

5.0 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 10 Sep 2004 | Contributor(s):: James R. Heath

As we enter the 21st century, we stand at a major inflection point for biology and medicine-the way we view and practice these disciplines is changing profoundly. These changes are being driven by systems biology, a new approach to biology, and which will increasingly transform medicine from...

Multiscale Modeling of the Mechanical Behavior of Polymer-Based Nanocomposites

1.0 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 25 Mar 2004 | Contributor(s):: Catalin Picu

Polymers filled with nanoscale fillers (carbon nanotubes or nanoparticles) exhibit enhanced properties compared with the neat polymer and with the polymer filled with micron-sized fillers at same volume fraction. Most interestingly, combinations of exceptional properties may be obtained as, for...

Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube for Interconnects and Nanoelectrode Based Biosensors

0.0 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 15 Apr 2004 | Contributor(s):: Jun Li

In the past few years, tremendous progress in the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been made, which enabled the fabrication of various CNT devices for applications in electronics, biomedical techniques, and chemical/biological sensors. We have established a process to grow vertically aligned...
