Microbial-mediated Au@biolayer core-shell nanoparticles: synthesis and application

Liu W.J., Jing C.Y., Chinese Academy of Science, CN

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) bio-synthesized through microbial activities create biocompatible and non-toxic nanomaterials that may have great applications in analysis, catalysis, and biomedicine. Herein, we demonstrated that Pantoea sp. IMH can generate Au@biolayer core-shell nanoparticles. [...]

Harnessing the resistive-elastic behavior of novel CNT-graphene hybrid foams for practical sensing applications

Wolmarans F., Van H.H., Li S.J., Liu T., Liu T., Zhang M., Florida State University, US

Carbon nanotube (CNT) foam and aerogels hold promise in the area of strain sensors because of their resistive-elastic behavior under compressive strain. To date one of the largest obstacles in the area of CNT foam [...]

Compare and Contrast HiSIM-LDMOS and BSIM based compact model of High Voltage MOSFETs for Analog Applications

Young A., Hall J., Luo Z., Xiao Y., Connerney D., Fairchild Semiconductor, US

A pair of scalable spectre models, one utilizes the Surface Potential based HiSIM-LDMOS model, and the other, the conventional Vth-based BSIM3v3 model, were extracted based on a test vehicle designed with both Drain-Extended CMOS and [...]

Synthesis of monodispersed MFe2O4 (M=Fe, Co, Ni) ferrite nanoparticles: effect of reaction temperature on particle size

Altavilla C., Leone C., Sannino D., Sarno M., Ciambelli P., University of Salerno, IT

The possibility of preparing monodispersed transition metal-oxides nanoparticles covered by functionalized long chain organic molecules, in the sub size range of 20 nm, has recently open an entire field of research. In fact, inorganic core [...]
