A facile low-temperature route for preparing monodisperse Mn3O4 nanopolyhedrons from amorphous MnO2 nanoparticles

Ma J., Zhang S., Liu W., Zhao Y., University of Shanghai for Sci& Tech., CN

In the paper, we firstly show a facile hydrothermal route for synthesizing monodisperse Mn3O4 nanopolyhedrons directly used new-made amorphous MnO2 nanoparticle with its mother solution as precursors. The hydrothermal process was performed at 160 ºC [...]

Nano Neuro Knitting: using nanotechnology to repair the brain

Ellis-Behnke R.G., Liang Y-X, You S-W, Tay D.K.C., Zhang S., So K-F, Schneider G.E., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Nanotechnology is often associated with materials fabrication, microelectronics, and microfluidics; using nanotechnology and molecular self-assembly in biomedicine to repair injured brain structures had never been explored. To achieve axonal regeneration after injury in the CNS, [...]

Coupled Package-Device Modeling for MEMS

Bart S.F., Zhang S., Rabinovich V.L., Cunningham S., Microcosm Technologies, Inc., US

Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS), by their nature as sensors and actuators, require application specific packaging. The package is the near environment of the MEMS device and hence has a direct effect on its thermal behavior, on [...]
