Nano-carbon materials are promising canidates for applications in high performance devices, including highly sensitive biosensors. We have developed a self-alignment process for nano-carbon field effect transistors (FETs), using a carbon nanowall (CNW)—a nano-carbon materials—to fabricate CNW-FETs. We measured the pH dependence of the device properties. The binding molecules are known to be key...

In a series of recently published works, we demonstrated that the plasmon-assisted microscopy nano-objects (PAMONO) technique can be successfully employed for sizing and quantification single viruses, virus-like particles, microvesicles charged non-biological particles. This approach enables label-free, but specific detection biological nano-vesicles. Hence, sensor, which was built up utilizing...

The localised surface plasmon resonance in gold nanoparticles can be used as the basis of a refractometric sensor. Usually, this is accomplished by monitoring a shift in wavelength of the resonance peak, a task which requires measurements over a range of wavelengths. Here we investigate a different scheme, in which interrogation of the sensor is carried out at a single wavelength. We have used ...

the continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. on the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. as an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the fixed interfacial multiscale method (fimm) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. the approach is applicable to mult...

This report discusses the guided Lamb wave sensing using polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber Bragg grating (PM-FBG) sensor. The goal is to apply the PM-FBG sensor system to composite structural health monitoring (SHM) applications in order to realize directivity and multi-axis strain sensing capabilities while reducing the number of sensors. Comprehensive experiments were conducted to evaluate ...

One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...

Treating cancer tumors is a main goal of cancer research. The author of this paper identifies a new manner to treat cancer tumors more effectively using a recommended architecture of a nanorobot called CANBOT. It contains a number of nano-components: an actuator, temperature sensor, chemical sensor, and microcontroller. CANBOT starts its role by moving toward the tumor cells using the actuator....

In 2008, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Energetics Incorporated collaborated with the International Electrotechnical Commission Technical Committee 113 (IEC TC 113) on nano-electrotechnologies to survey members of the international nanotechnologies community about priorities for standards and measurements to accelerate innovations in nano-electrotechnologies. In this pap...

We utilized oil/water interfaces as a new field to produce lipid nanotubes (LNTs), which are formed by the self-assembly of lipid molecules, and possess hollow nanometer-wide cylindrical structures. Compared to the self-assembling field in bulk water, oil/water interfaces produced shorter lipids nanotubes less than 10 microm long more efficiently. In addition, we found that the oil/water interf...

Colour filters based on nano-apertures in thin metallic films have been widely studied due to their extraordinary optical transmission and small size. These properties make them prime candidates for use in high-resolution colour displays and high accuracy bio-sensors. The inclusion of polarization sensitive plasmonic features in such devices allow additional control over the electromagnetic fie...
