Platinum Nanowire Actuator: Metallic Artificial Muscles

Lu S., Sivakumar K., Panchapakesan B., University of Delaware, US

In this paper, we have fabricated platinum nanowires by using carbon nanotube as templates and have shown its applications for nanoactuation using electro-chemical actuation techniques.The strain response of the nanowire is measured and a total [...]

Electronic Sensing of Antibodies using Carbon Nanotube Devices

Teker K., Sivakumar K., Wickstrom E., Panchapakesan B., University of Delaware, US

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are remarkable solid state nanomaterials due to their unique properties such as high surface area, hollow cavities, and excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Interfacing carbon nanotubes with biological materials could enable significant [...]
