CAD at the Nano Scale

Challenges of Electronic CAD in the Nano Scale Era

Future nano scale devices will expose different characteristics than todays silicon devices. While the exponential growth of non recurring expenses (NRE, mostly due to mask sets) can be anticipated even for new technologies, problems such as the dramatically increased defect density require new approaches to build functional devices at reasonable prices. Improved CAD algorithms can help to solv...

Transbilayer distribution of lipids at nano scale.

There is a limited number of methods to examine transbilayer lipid distribution in biomembranes. We employed freeze-fracture replica-labelling immunoelectron microscopy in combination with lipid-binding proteins and a peptide to examine both transbilayer distribution and lateral distribution of various phospholipids in mammalian cells. Our results indicate that phospholipids are exclusively dis...

The fracture resistance of a CAD/CAM Resin Nano Ceramic (RNC) and a CAD ceramic at different thicknesses.

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the influence of restoration thickness to the fracture resistance of adhesively bonded Lava™ Ultimate CAD/CAM, a Resin Nano Ceramic (RNC), and IPS e.max CAD ceramic. METHODS Polished Lava™ Ultimate CAD/CAM (Group L), sandblasted Lava™ Ultimate CAD/CAM (Group LS), and sandblasted IPS e.max CAD (Group ES) discs (n=8, Ø=10 mm) with a thickness of respec...

Nano Weapons Functioning on the Nano Scale

The nano-microcapsules drug delivery system is currently a promising method for the treatment of many types of diseases, particularly tumors. However, the drug delivery efficiency does not reach a satisfactory level to meet treatment demands. Therefore, the effectiveness of delivery needs to be improved. Based on the alterations in the structure and modification of nano-microcapsules, ultrasoun...
