A Helical Peptide can Mediate Electron over 120 Å by Hopping Mechanism

Arikuma Y., Nakayama H., Morita T., Kimura S., Kyoto University, JP

We have studied long-range electron transfer through various lengths of helical peptides from 8 mer (24 Å) up to 80 mer (120 Å) in self-assembled monolayers prepared on a gold surface. Helical peptides carrying a [...]

Design, Fabrication & Testing of a Ceramic Microreactor for Nanoparticle Synthesis

Jain K., Wu C., Atre S., Kimura S., Jovanovic G., Sprenkle V., Canfield N., Narayanan V., Roy S., Oregon Nanoscience & Microtechnologies Institute, US

Nanoscale ceramic powders offer attractive prospects as building blocks for various high performance applications due to their excellent mechanical, thermal, dielectric and corrosion properties. Despite the availability of a plethora of nanoparticle synthesis processes the [...]
