Diabetes affects over 100 million people worldwide. Better methods for monitoring blood glucose levels are needed for improving disease management. Several labs have previously made glucose nanosensors by modifying members of the periplasmic ligand binding protein superfamily. This minireview summarizes recent developments in constructing new versions of these proteins that are responsive withi...

or nanosensor networks, it is essential to have high energy efficiency, and proper modulation for proper communication. Energy efficient codes are needed for nanoscale communication. In this paper, Bit error rate (BER) has been measured for high reliability, and compared with different error correcting codes. It minimizes energy depending on various source cardinality. Here we analyze some pare...

We present a novel platform for the development and deployment of nanosensors in integrated systems. The nanosensor technology is based on ‘‘striped’’ high aspect ratio cylindrical structures grown using porous membranes as templates. These nanostructures are manipulated using dielectrophoretic forces, allowing their individual assembly and characterization. This assembly also enables the devel...

We demonstrate the existence of Fano resonance spectral response in a system of nanoscale plasmonic resonant ring stacked by means of a half nanoring. Our proposed scheme exploits the stacked method under normal incidence to excite the subradiant mode. The nanostructure, which utilizes the combination of Fano resonance and polarization-resolved, has a new rotation mode and high tunability, prov...

A method of fabricating horizontally aligned ZnO nanowire (NW) arrays with full control over the width and length is demonstrated. A cross-sectional view of the NWs by transmission electron microscopy shows a ‘‘mushroom-like’’ structure. Novel monolithic multisegment superstructures are fabricated by making use of the lateral overgrowth. Ultralong horizontal ZnO NWs of an aspect ratio on the or...
