Development of a capillary-driven, microfluidic, nucleic acid biosensor

He F., Jin S., Dai M., Nugen S.R., University of Massachusetts, US

An ideal point-of-care device would incorporate the simplicity and reliability of a lateral flow assay with a microfluidic device. Our system consists of self-priming microfluidics with sealed conjugate pads of reagent delivery and an absorbent [...]

Characterization of Nanaoporous Low-Dielectric Constant SiCOH Films using Organosilane Precursor

Heo K., Park S.-G., Yoon J., Jin K.S., Jin S., Jin K.S., Jin S., Rhee S.W., Ree M., Pohang University of Science and Technology, KR

The grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and X-ray reflectivity (XR) analysis were performed to investigate the nanoporous structure of low dielectric constant carbon-doped silicon oxide (SiCOH) films, which were deposited with plasma enhanced chemical [...]

Synchrotron X-Ray Scattering Studies of Star-Shape Polymers

Jin K.S., Jin S., Higashihara T., Jin K.S., Jin S., Yoon J., Heo K., Kim J., Kim K.W., Kim J., Kim K.W., Hirao A., Ree M., Pohang University of Science and Technology, KR

The physical properties of well-defined star-shape polystyrenes with high number of arms (6 to 57 arms) in good and theta solvents were studied using synchrotron X-ray scattering. The scattering profiles for multi-armed polystyrenes shown the [...]

Quantitative Synchrotron Grazing Incidence X-ray Scattering and Reflectivity Analysis of Nano-structures and Patterns Supported with Substrates

Ree M., Yoon J., Heo K., Jin K.S., Jin S., Jin K.S., Jin S., Lee B., Park I., Park Y.H., Choi S.C., Kim G., Kim H., Kim J-S, Kim J., Kim K.W., Kim G., Kim H., Kim J-S, Kim J., Kim K.W., Oh W., Park I., Park Y.H., Hwang Y., Kim G., Kim H., Kim J-S, Kim J., Kim K.W., Kim G., Kim H., Kim J-S, Kim J., Kim K.W., Kim G., Kim H., Kim J-S, Kim J., Kim K.W., Chang T., Pohang University of Science & Technology, KR

Single-layer, multi-layer, and patterned nanostructures were fabricated with aids of substrates from various material systems (polymers, diblock copolymers, polymer blends, alumina precursors, silane precursor, etc.) using wet spin-coating and subsequent dry and thermal process, chemical [...]

A Synchrotron X-ray Scattering Study on the Structure of Pepsin in Solution

Jin K.S., Jin S., Jin K.S., Jin S., Yoon J., Heo K., Kim J., Ree M., Pohang University of Science and Technology, KR

To understand the conformational behavior of a protein, it is necessary to define not only the structure of its native state but also that of various denatured states. Recent studies have revealed the biological significance [...]

Quantum Dot Nanocrystals in Neurosciences

Pathak S., Cao E., Davidson M., Jin S., Silva G., UCSD, US

We have developed labeling methods using commercially available quantum dots specific to neurons and glia (Pathak S, in press) and have used these tools to label GFAP intermediate filament cellular bridges as well as integrin [...]
