Size Effect on Nano-Droplet Spreading on Solid Surface

Sedighi N., Murad S., Aggarwal S., University of Illinois at Chicago, US

In this paper MD simulation has been performed to study the behavior of nano-sized non-polar argon droplets spreading on a solid surface. Three different sizes of the nano-droplet have been examined with the diameters of [...]

Electrokinetic Flows in Highly Charged Micro/Nanochannel with Newtonian Boundary Slip Condition

Chun M.-S., Yun J.H., Kim T-H., Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), KR

The physics of micro/nanofluids has become an area of intense interest both scientifically and technologically. The long-range nature of viscous flows and the small dimension inherent in confined spaces imply that the influence of boundaries [...]

Enhanced fluid transport through carbon nanopipes

Whitby M., Cagnon L., Thanou M., Quirke N., Imperial College, UK

Experimental measurement of fluid flow and diffusion through nanoscale channels is important both for determining how classical theories of fluid dynamics apply at very small length scales and with a view to constructing practical nanofluidic [...]

Gaseous Flows and Heat Transfer through Micro- and Nano-channels

Sun H., Wang P., Liu S., Song M., Faghri M., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

The overall object of this paper is a systematic study of gaseous flows and thermal transport in two-dimensional micro- and nano-channels using direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The flows are often encountered in MEMS, [...]

Purification of Nanoparticles by Hollow Fiber Diafiltration

Bianchi D., Serway D., Tamashiro W., Spectrum Laboratories, US

Hollow Fiber Diafiltration (or Hollow Fiber Tangential Flow Filtration) is an efficient and rapid alternative to traditional methods of nanoparticle purification such as ultracentrifugation, stirred cell filtration, dialysis, or chromatography. Hollow Fiber Diafiltration can be [...]

SPRi signal amplification by organothiols-nanopattern

Lisboa P., Valsesia A., Mannelli I., Colpo P., Rossi F., JRC-European Commission, IT

A 2D crystalline nanoarray of organothiols has been used for enhancing the detection sensitivity of Surface Plasmon Resonance-based biosensor. In particular, an IgG/AbIgG immunoreaction has been monitored by Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging on nano-patterned surfaces [...]

Chemically modified polacrylic acid monolayers in alumina nanoporous membranes for cancer detection

Atre S.V., Monfared N., Bothara M., Prasad S., Varadarajan S., Oregon Nanoscience & Microtechnologies Insittute, US

We report the synthesis and modification of polyacrylic acid (PAA) monolayers in nanoporous alumina membranes. PAA was adsorbed onto the membrane surface using solution self-assembly to provide 0.5 -1 nm films that are robustly bound [...]

Ferromagnetic Resonance Biochip for Diagnosing Pancratic Cancer

Casler E., Chae S., Kunduru V., Bothara M., Yang E., Ghionea S., Dhagat P., Prasad S., Portland State University, US

The goal of this research is to be able to develop a device that would be able to detect and diagnosis pancreatic cancer at bedside. The key criteria to be addressed are the cost, portability, [...]

Ultra-sensitive Electrochemical Detection of E. coli Using Nano-porous Alumina Membrane

Mishra N.N., Maki G., Maki W.C., Filanoski B., Fellegy M., Cameron E., Rastogi S.K., Maki G., Maki W.C., University of Idaho, US

A combinational method has been developed for ultra-sensitive detection of E. coli. The method combined biological, nano-fabrication and electrochemical techniques to achieve highly specific and ultra-sensitive detection of bacterial pathogen. E. coli K12 was used [...]

Nanomonitors: Electrical Immunoassays for Protein Biomarker Profiling

Bothara M.G., Reddy R.K., Barrett T., Carruthers J., Prasad S., Portland State University, US

Robust diagnosis of a disease can be accomplished by reliable detection of multiple protein biomarkers. Traditional assay methods for protein detection such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) have several limitations – need for use of [...]
