Nano-bioelectronics represents a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field that combines nanomaterials with biology and electronics and, in so doing, offers the potential to overcome existing challenges in bioelectronics. In particular, shrinking electronic transducer dimensions to the nanoscale and making their properties appear more biological can yield significant improvements in the sensiti...

We report a unique approach in which living cells direct their integration into 3D solid-state nanostructures. Yeast cells deposited on a weakly condensed lipid/silica thin film mesophase actively reconstruct the surface to create a fully 3D bio/nano interface, composed of localized lipid bilayers enveloped by a lipid/silica mesophase, through a self-catalyzed silica condensation process. Remar...

One of the key steps in nanotechnology is our ability to engineer and fabricate low-dimensional nano-objects, such as quantum dots, nanowires, two-dimensional atomic layers or three-dimensional nano-porous systems. Here we report evidence of nanotunnel opening within the subsurface region of a wide band-gap semiconductor, silicon carbide. Such an effect is induced by selective hydrogen/deuteriu...

The field of nanotechnology is one of the most active areas of research in modern materials science. New applications of nanoparticles and nanomaterials are emerging rapidly. Nanocrystalline silver particles have found tremendous applications in the field of high sensitivity biomolecular detection and diagnostics, antimicrobials and therapeutics, Catalysis and micro-electronics. The use of nano...

There have been growing interests in direct patterning of metallic contents on the surface of the substrate without including complex steps of the micro fabrication lithography process. The direct fabrication process using ink-jet printing can be expected to be a powerful tool for both nanotechnology research and applications such as micro electronics. Inkjet printers operate by propelling vari...

Since the last few decades the siliconbased technology has escalated remarkably. The reason behind the exceptional advancement of the CMOS devices is acknowledged due to its potential of being scaled down to increasingly compact sizes. However, the excessive scaling of CMOS devices to the Nano ranges have resulted in several non-idealities affecting the I/V characteristics and increased short c...

A "Darwin Machine" is defined to be a piece of hardware that evolves its own architecture at electronic speeds. A Darwin Machine is an example of "Evolutionary Engineering", which in turn is defined to be the building of complex structures and dynamics using evolutionary methods. The author believes that evolutionary techniques will dominate 21st century engineering, especially molecular scale ...

Smart power grid is the future transformation of the current power systems into controlled two-way power flow networks. Smart grid allows the interactive service between customers and grid operators and permits fully integration of distributed and renewable energy resources into the electrical power system. The main objectives of the smart grid are to increase the efficiency, reliability and op...

Since Flexible field effect transistor (F-FET) is the building block of any sophisticated electronic circuit, particularly in area wearable electronics and biomedical sensors, it has drawn a lot attention recently. It usually fabricated using stretchable semiconductors over polymeric substrates. This paper displays brief overview current fabrication techniques F-FET, specifically terms type sub...

Low-Cost Flexible Electronics Multiple generations of ultra-thin crystalline silicon nano/micro-membrane sheets with high areal density can be formed from a single <111> mother wafer using an unusual anisotropic etching technique, which utilized for various electronic applications in flexible devices.
