Inflammation and Cellular Toxicity Study of PAMAM Dendrimer Nanoparticles in Primary Isolated Human Lung Cells

Khan M.K., Kariapper M.S.T., Kasturirangan V., Lesniak W., Sharma M., Baumann H., Balogh L.P., Translational Research Scientist, US

Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) based dendrimers are a class of organic particulate nanomaterials with great promise for improvement in cancer imaging and therapy. In this study, we systematically modify terminal groups of the parent generation 5 primary [...]

A unique opportunity for industrial scale fabrication of semiconductor nanowire-based devices

Nikoobkht B., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

A method is developed which enables horizontal growth of semiconductor nanowires on predefined locations. In this architecture, despite most bottom-up approaches, there is no need for post-growth treatments and alignment of nanowires on a given [...]

A Nano-Transistor with a Cavity

Ravariu C., Ravariu F., Rusu A., Profirescu M., Ravariu C., Ravariu F., Politehnica University of Bucharest, RO

A SOI nanotransistor with a cavity was simulated. The global current is a superposition of a tunnel current through the cavity and an inversion current at the film bottom. The tunnel source-drain current prevails in [...]

Novel Random Number Generators Based on Si Nanodevices for Mobile Communication Security Systems

Fujita S., Uchida K., Yasuda S., Ohba R., Tanamoto T., Toshiba Corp, JP

We propose a new application of silicon (Si) nanodevices that can generate high-quality random numbers (HQ-RNs) for mobile communication security systems, one of most important elements of information technology (IT). We have successfully demonstrated the [...]
