DNA three-way junctions are frequently used in nanoarchitectures. Ligand-dependent designs that provide well-characterized building blocks for structure-switching DNA nanodevices are presented.

Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors have reached the nanometer geometry scale (1–100 nm) where they are difficult to be scaled anymore due to essentially quantum mechanical properties effects. This paper discusses emerging non-CMOS nanoelectronic devices (nanodevices) that could potentially be able to circumvent this problem. First we propose a nanodevice taxonomy which c...

Chlamydia trachomatis is an intracellular human pathogen that causes a sexually transmitted disease which may result in an inflammatory arthritis designated Chlamydia-induced reactive arthritis (ReA). The arthritis develops after dissemination of infected cells from the initial site of chlamydial infection. During Chlamydia-associated ReA, the organism may enter into a persistent infection stat...

Feedback-controlled electric breakdown of graphene in air or vacuum is a well-established way fabricating tunnel junctions, nanogaps, and quantum dots. We show that the method equally applicable to encapsulated constrictions fabricated using hydrogen silsesquioxane. The silica-like layer left by silsesquioxane resist after electron-beam exposure remains intact graphene. explore conductance swit...
