Coordination polymer particles have attracted a great deal of attention due to their characteristic properties and diverse applications in the fields of gas storage, catalysis, optics, sensing, electronics, photochemistry, and biology. Herein, we investigated shape transformation reactions of zinc 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra(4-pyridyl)-21 H, 23 H-porphine (ZnTPyP)-containing coordination polymer partic...

The "carbon nano-world" has made over the past few decades huge contributions in diverse scientific disciplines and technological advances. While dramatic advances have been widely publicized in using carbon nanomaterials such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene in materials sciences, nano-electronics, and photonics, their contributions to biology and biomedicine have been noteworthy ...

In this paper, we theoretically describe a method to simultaneously control both the position and orientation of single nano-objects in fluids by precisely controlling the flow around them. We develop and simulate a control law that uses electro-osmotic flow (EOF) actuation to translate and rotate rigid nano-objects in two spatial dimensions. Using EOF to control nano-objects offers advantages ...

Imagine a host of nanoscale DNA robots move autonomously over a microscale DNA nanostructure, each following a programmable route and serving as a nanoparticle and/or an information carrier. The accomplishment of this goal has many applications in nanorobotics, nano-fabrication, nano-electronics, nano-diagnostics/therapeutics, and nano-computing. Recent success in constructing large scale DNA n...

Brittle solder joints in Electroless Ni electroless Pd immersion Au (ENEPIG) surface finishes are one of the key re­ liability issues in electronics assembly. Previous characterization of the reflow process has indicated that interfa­ cial voids formed after solder reflow are responsible for the decreases in solder joint strength. However, the mechanisms behind the formation of these voids in t...

The discovery of graphene and its fascinating capabilities have triggered an unprecedented interest in inorganic two-dimensional (2D) materials. Van der Waals (vdW) layered materials as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), the more recently re-discovered black phosphorus (BP) indeed display exceptional technological potential for engineering nano-ele...

[ 2 ] Research on organic bioelectronics based on silicon nano-membranes, [ 3 ] and peptide templates, [ 4 ] with emphasis on devicetissue interface, has gained tremendous momentum in the last decade. Unlike some biomedical devices such as pacemakers and artifi cial joints that are designed to last for...

Abstract Nanotechnology has facilitated unique ways of developing novel nano-composites. In that sense, polymer-based nano-composites are being extensively researched for their outstanding properties as a result incorporating nano-fillers in the polymer matrix. They have activated enormous research interests owing to potential addressing environmental issues, packaging, optics, electronics, bat...

The many desirable material properties of the novel graphene films, including ultra-high mobility, high saturation velocity, high current carrying capability, excellent thermal conductivity, ultra-thin geometry, and the feature to integrate with traditional CMOS processes, offer the potential for graphene-based electronics. Since the bandgap of semiconducting GNRs is inversely proportional to t...
