Gold Nanorods Induce Innate Immune Response and Reduce Respiratory Syncytial Virus Replication

Bawage S., Tiwari P., Singh A., Singh S., Dixit S., Pillai S., Dennis V., Singh A., Singh S., Alabama State University, US

Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been used for diverse applications like sensing molecules, diagnosis of cancer, delivery of drugs and vaccines. Among the various MNPs, the gold nanorods (GNR) have been commonly used for such diagnosis [...]

A simple process for selective bio-functionalization of SU-8 surface for Lab-on-a-Chip applications

Srinivasan B., Chaurasia D., Vanjari S., Singh S., Indian Institute of Technology - Hyderabad, IN

SU-8 is a popular epoxy based negative photoresist developed by IBM. It has been widely used as structural material in Bio-MEMS and Lab-on-a-Chip devices due to its bio-compatible properties. SU-8 surface has hydrophobic nature. Often [...]

Fast and Facile Synthesis of Stable and Biocompatible Silver nanoparticles Stabilized by Polyethylene Glycol

Jain S., Singh S., Pillai S., Alabama State University, US

Silver nanoparticles show enhanced properties, when supported onto a substrate and incorporated into organic or inorganic matrix. Their remarkable properties are shape and size dependent. Ethylene glycol and its polymers are environment friendly or environmentally [...]

Super-hydrophobic paper influence on bacterial attachment suggests potential application as packaging material

Jain S., Li L., Breedveld V., Hess D.W., Barnett C., Davis M., Singh S., Pillai S., Alabama State University, US

The surface topography and chemistry of cellulose-based paper, was controlled by a two-step plasma (glow discharge) treatment. Selective plasma etching of the amorphous regions of cellulose followed by plasma deposition of a thin (100 nm) [...]

Fluorescent Nanodiamonds with Silicon-Vacancy Color Center: A Potential Cellular Biomarker

Singh S., University of Alabama at Birmingham, US

Nanodiamond particles are emerged as a promising candidate as an imaging probe and as a drug and gene delivery agent because of their promising photostable luminescent emission upon incorporation of color centers (mostly nitrogen vacancy), [...]

The Failure of the Hydrodynamic Transport Model for Simulation of Partially Depleted SOI MOSFETs and its Revision

Gritsch M., Kosina H., Grasser T., Selberherr S., Linton T., Singh S., Yu S., Giles M.D., TU Vienna, AT

An anomalous output characteristics is observed in hydrodynamic simulations of partially depleted SOI MOSFETs. The effect that the drain current reaches a maximum and then decreases is peculiar to the hydrodynamic transport model. It is [...]
