Efforts for the integration of ferroelectric materials in nonvolatile, low energy consuming memories have so far been focused on perovskite oxide materials. Their down-scaling nanodevices is, h...

Multifunctional cancer therapeutic nanodevices have been designed and synthesized using the poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer as a carrier. Partial acetylation of the generation 5 (G5) PAMAM dendrimer was utilized to neutralize a fraction of the primary amino groups, provide enhanced solubility of the dendrimer during the conjugation reaction of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (in dimethyl s...

Properties and potential applications of carbon nanotubes are summarized by emphasizing the aspects of nanoelectronics and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). The main technologies for the assembly of nanodevices through nanomanipulations with scanning probe microscopes and nanorobotic manipulators are overviewed, focusing on that of nanotubes. Key techniques for nanoassembly include the prep...

Neuromorphic circuits—electronic circuits emulating the functionality of the brain—have teased us for fifty years with their potential for creating autonomous, intelligent machines that can adaptively interact with uncertain and changing environments. Although there are many stumbling blocks to achieving that vision, a primary problem has been the lack of a small, cheap circuit that can emulate...

A saturable absorber is a nonlinear functional material widely used in laser and photonic nanodevices. Metallic nanostructures have prominent saturable absorption (SA) at the plasmon resonance frequency owing to largely enhanced ground state absorption. However, the SA of plasmonic metal nanostructures is hampered by excited-state absorption processes at very high excitation power, which usuall...
