Lipid Dip-Pen Nanolithography for Functional Biomimetic Membrane Systems

Lenhert S., Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, DE

Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is uniquely well suited for the integration of multiple materials (or inks) with both high resolution and high throughput. Phospholipid-based inks are particularly well suited for this purpose for several reasons. [...]

Electrostatic Force Microscopy Study of Open-Circuit Photovoltage from a bR/ITO Heterostructure

Crittenden S., Hillebrecht J., Howell S., Birge R.R., Reifenberger R., Purdue University, US

Bioelectronics offers a potential alternative to Si-based technology because natural evolution and selection have optimized many biological molecules to perform tasks that can only be mimicked by complicated electronic circuits. Purple membrane (PM) patches containing [...]
