A reversibly switching surface.
We report the design of surfaces that exhibit dynamic changes in interfacial properties, such as wettability, in response to an electrical potential. The change in wetting behavior was caused by surface-confined, single-layered molecules undergoing conformational transitions between a hydrophilic and a moderately hydrophobic state. Reversible conformational transitions were confirmed at a molec...
متن کاملThe surface electrical properties experiment
Gene Simmons, 1 David 14. StrangvJay, 2 L. Bannister,3 D. Cubley/+ G. LaTorraca,l J. D. Redman, 5 J. Rossiter, 6 and R. 14atts6 Abstract The surface electrical properties experiment is presently planned for Apollo 17. It uses two orthogonal, electric dipole antennas laid on the surface, each 70 m long (tip-to-tip), to transmit frequencies of l, 2.1, 4, 8. l, 16 and 32. 1 mhz. The signa 1 s ure ...
متن کاملThe electrical surface potential of pulmonary surfactant.
A molecular film of pulmonary surfactant covers the hydrated lung epithelium to the air. We recently showed that the film exhibits a locally strongly variable electrical surface potential of up to several hundred millivolts. The potential arises from aligned molecular dipoles of the molecules. In the case of the complex structural organization of the phase-separated film of pulmonary surfactant...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation of a small brain area reversibly disrupts consciousness.
The neural mechanisms that underlie consciousness are not fully understood. We describe a region in the human brain where electrical stimulation reproducibly disrupted consciousness. A 54-year-old woman with intractable epilepsy underwent depth electrode implantation and electrical stimulation mapping. The electrode whose stimulation disrupted consciousness was between the left claustrum and an...
متن کاملSurface chemistry and electrical properties of germanium nanowires.
Germanium nanowires (GeNWs) with p- and n-dopants were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and were used to construct complementary field-effect transistors (FETs). Electrical transport and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data are correlated to glean the effects of Ge surface chemistry to the electrical characteristics of GeNWs. Large hysteresis due to water molecules strongly...
