The paper reviews quantum and classical effects which arise in physics of nanotube devices. Knowledge of nanotube electronic structure has been used for a calculation of quantum capacitance and quantum terms in van der Waals energy. Combining analytical theory and quantum mechanical micromodels I worked out a description for nanoelectromechanical devices, for example, electromechanical switch. ...

nanotechnology has slowly but steadily revolutionized the diagnosis, imaging and treatment of cancer. detecting cancer at earliest stages, locating the tumor at different areas in the body and specific delivery of the drugs to malignant cells including surgically inaccessible tumors are the core areas of medical and pharmaceutical research across the world. in this endeavour, nanodevices have e...

Title Functional DNA nanodevices

Nanoscience has been an emerging and rapidly expanding discipline in the past decade, which is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This covers both current work and concepts that are more advanced. Nanoscience and nanotechnology include three fields: nano-materials, nanodevices, and nanomeasurement and nano-characterization. This special issue mainly focuses on nano-ma...

We report the successful application of a new approach, ice lithography (IL), to fabricate nanoscale devices. The entire IL process takes place inside a modified scanning electron microscope (SEM), where a vapor-deposited film of water ice serves as a resist for e-beam lithography, greatly simplifying and streamlining device fabrication. We show that labile nanostructures such as carbon nanotub...
