Production of Conducting Polymer Nanowires for Use as Intravascular Neural Recording Electrodes

Ruddy B., Watanabe H., Hunter I., Llinás R.R., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

A crucial factor limiting the adoption of brain-machine interfaces is the invasiveness of conventional microelectrode arrays. Recently, Llinas et al. proposed a new, less invasive form of microelectrode array, utilizing sub-micrometer insulated platinum wires placed [...]

Preparation and Characterization of Various Nanofluids

Williams W.C., Bang I.C., Forrest E., Hu L.W., Buongiorno J., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

As part of an effort to evaluate water-based nanofluids for nuclear applications, preparation and characterization has been performed for nanofluids being considered for MIT’s nanofluid heat transfer experiments. Three methods of generating these nanofluids are [...]

ONETEP: Linear-Scaling Density-Functional Theory with Plane-Waves

Mostofi A.A., Haynes P.D., Skylaris C.-K., Payne M.C., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Conventional methods for atomistic simulations based on density-functional theory (DFT), such as the plane-wave pseudopotential approach, have had an immense impact on the way in which material properties are studied. In spite of this success, [...]

Enhancement of Oxygen Transfer in Fermentation by Use of Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles

Olle B., Bromberg L., Hatton T.A., Wang D.I.C., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Maintaining an adequate oxygen supply to aerobic cell cultures has been a long-standing problem in fermentation technology. Insufficient oxygen transfer rates limit cell growth and ultimately process productivity. Our approach to reducing the oxygen transport [...]

Destruction of Organophosphate Agents by Recyclable Catalytic Magnetic Nanoparticles

Bromberg L., Hatton T.A., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Organophosphorus pesticides and warfare agents are not readily hydrolyzed in aqueous media without applying extremes of pH, heat, or bleach. We show that suspensions of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles modified with a common antidote, 2-pralidoxime (PAM), [...]
