The Vision and Action Plan of the National Nanotechnology Initiative
The vision of novel phenomena, unity in nature, and promise of the most efficient manufacturing length scale has been essential in establishing the multidisciplinary National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The research opportunities and projections of their [...]
The Number of Human Genes and Proteins
The definitive prototype for nanotechnology is the cell. Its many machines and exquisitely controlled internal and external movements are a reference for all researchers working in the field. The complete instructions for every molecular machine [...]
The Inverse Band Structure Approach: Given the desired electronic property, find the atomic configuration
Modern crystal-growth techniques, such as molecular beam epitaxy or metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition, are capable of producing prescribed crystal structures, sometimes even in defiance of equilibrium, bulk thermodynamics. These techniques open up the possibility of exploring [...]
What to do with Statistical Mechanics when the Figure of Merit Cannot be Calculated: Library Design for High-Throughput Materials Development
By analogy with Monte Carlo algorithms, we discuss new strategies for design and redesign of libraries in high-throughput experimentation, or combinatorial chemistry. Several Monte Carlo methods are examined, including Metropolis, several types of biased schemes, [...]
Modeling and Simulation for MEMS Design, Industrial Requirements
The development process of today’s products is dominated by demands like ‘product performance’, ‘quality, ‘time to market’, ‘development cost’, ‘development risk’ etc., while the products’ complexity is increasing. Design methods for MEMS devices are discussed, [...]
Complex Fluid Dynamics in BioMEMS Devices: Modeling of Microfabricated Microneedles
MEMS technologies promises to revolutionize health care by providing precise control of biological fluids for both diagnoses and treatments. For example, microneedles can be used for sample collection for biological analysis, delivery of cell or [...]
