Using Scanning Thermal Microscopy Techniques for In-Situ synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes at “room temperature conditions”

Mukkisa S., Banerjee D., Texas A&M University, US

Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) were synthesized at room temperature conditions on a heated scanning probe without the use of conventional Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) apparatus or the process gases. The heated scanning probe is composed of [...]

Advanced Particle Beam Technologies for Nano-Characterization and Fabrication

Mulders J.J.L., Greiser J., FEI Company, NL

As the structures under investigation grow ever smaller, the need for high resolution, nanoscale imaging and protoyping is a constant factor. The presented range of DualBeam and single column focused ion and electron beam microscopes [...]

Cellular Response to Nanoparticle Exposure

Erdos G.W., Moraga D., Palazuelos M., Powers K., University of Florida, US

Cells exposed to particles will phagocytose them and shuttle the endosomes to lysosomal compartments. Lysosomal mebranes rupture, possibly due to free radical formation. Proteases are released which inturn compromise the mitochondrial membranes. The mitochondria leak [...]
