a new modified adomian decomposition method (adm) is utilized to obtain an analytical solution for buckling of the nanocantilever actuators immersed in liquid electrolytes. the nanoactuators in electrolytes are subject to different nonlinear forces including ionic concentration, van der waals, external voltage and electrochemical forces. the duan–rach modified adomian decomposition method is ut...

Developments in the field of nanobiodevices coupling nanostructures and biological components are of great interest in medical nanorobotics. As the fundamentals of bio/non-bio interaction processes are still poorly understood in the design of these devices, design tools and multiscale dynamics modeling approaches are necessary at the fabrication pre-project stage. This paper proposes a new conc...

Using molecular dynamics with a first-principles-based force field sdenoted MSXXd, we show that large electrostrictive strains s,5%d at extremely high frequencies sover ,109 Hzd can be achieved in a polysvinylidene-fluorided nanoactuator if the packing density of the polymer chains is chosen appropriately. We control the packing density by assembling the polymer chains on a silicon k111l surfac...

To achieve the areal density goal in hard disk drives of 1 Tbit/ in.2 the minimum physical spacing or flying height (FH) between the read/write element and disk must be reduced to 2 nm. A brief review of several FH adjustment schemes is first presented and discussed. Previous research showed that the actuation efficiency (defined as the ratio of the FH reduction to the stroke) was low due to th...

For the development of polymer carpets as active devices for micro- and nanotechnology, a control of the polymer carpet morphology and especially control of the stimulus responsive polymer brush is needed. Here, we report on the first example for the fabrication of patterned polymer carpets. On a two-dimensional framework of fully crosslinked and chemically patterned nanosheets, polymer brushes...

SUMMARY Plasmid R124 was first described in 1972 as being a new member of incompatibility group IncFIV, yet early physical investigations of plasmid DNA showed that this type of classification was more complex than first imagined. Throughout the history of the study of this plasmid, there have been many unexpected observations. Therefore, in this review, we describe the history of our understan...
