Bio-Molecules Immobilization on Nanowire Electronic Devices

Maki G., Maki W., Mishra N., Fellegy M., Cameron E., Maki G., Maki W., University of Idaho, US

Nano-scale Field Effect Transistor based devices (nano-FETs) have shown great promise in bio-molecular detection. The advantages of using electronic nano-devices verses using conventional bio-detection methods are: direct detection without labeling, ultra-sensitivity without amplification and simple [...]

Nano-Surface Behavior of Osteoblast Cell-Cultured Ti-30(Nb,Ta) with Low Elastic Modulus

Choe H.C., Ko Y.M., Brantley W., Chosun University, KR

Ti and Ti-alloys have good biocompatibility, appropriate mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. However, the widely used Ti-6Al-4V is found to release toxic ions (Al and V) into the body, leading to undesirable long-term effects. [...]
