On the Validity of the No-Slip Condition in Nanofluidics

Koumoutsakos P., Jaffe R.l., Werder T., Walther J.H., Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich, CH

In a collaboration with experimental groups at NASA and ETH Zürich we conduct computational studies towards the development of biosensors in aqueous environments. Examples include arrays of carbon nanotubes that may operate as artificial stereocillia [...]

Transport Properties For Carbon Nanotubes Under Hydrostatic Pressure

Chen F., Xue Y.Y., Stokes K.L., Wang H., Chu C.W., University of Houston, US

Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were mixed with polystyrene (PS) by 20 wt%, which is close to the percolation threshold. Temperature (T) dependence of Seebeck coefficient (S) and resistance (R) for the sample (MWNT-PS) were measured [...]

Adsorption Phenomena in Particle Transport Through a Fluid-filled Nanochannel

Drazer G., Khusid B., Koplik J., Acrivos A., City College of New York, US

An important ingredient in future transport applications at the nanoscale will be the motion of suspensions of solid particles through channels. Calculations based on continuum dynamics and models are not reliable at this scale and [...]

Macromolecular Crystallization in Microfluidics for the International Space Station

Monaco L.A., Spearing S.F., Morgan Research Corporation, US

Macromolecular Crystallization in Microfluidics for the International Space Station At NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, we have begun the development of scientific hardware for macromolecular crystallization on the International Space Station (ISS). [...]

Hardware Implementation of Programmable Neural Networks for CHEMFET Signals Analysis in SEWING Project

Klepaczko A., Napieralski A., Kielbik R., Moreno J.M., Technical University of Lodz, PL

This paper focuses on problems of hardware implementation of neural networks (NN) in the re-programmable structures. New class of these devices, which integrate in one silicon wafer entire microprocessor systems (Systems-on-Chip), facilitates NN construction and [...]

Szermer M., Daniel M., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, PL

In this paper the smart sensor of chemical signal is presented. It reflects the current state of research performed in the System for European Water Monitoring (SEWING) project. The aim of the paper is to [...]

The Microchips for Alzheimer Disease Diagnosis

Napieralska M., Zubert M., Napieralski A., Liberski P.P., Technical University of Lodz, PL

The Alzheimer disease is belongs to a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterised by an accumulation of extraneuronal filamentous material consisting of _-sheet proteins of various biochemical properties. Clinically, these diseases manifest as dementia is permanent [...]

Multi- and Single- Atoms Liquid Flow Systems for Nano-sized channels

Lu M-C, Tseng F-G, Hsieh H-M, Chieng C-C, National Tsing Hua University, TW

Flow based assays use continuous forward flow in micro/nano-fluidic systems to deliver and transport biomedical sample to destined spots for biomedical diagnosis. Accurate dose control, less drag force from contact surface, and simpler flow system [...]

Visualization of Fluidic and Reaction Dynamics in Microchannels

Kawazumi H., Muraki A., Kanno K., Maeda H., Kinki University, Kyushu, JP

An easy-to-use and low cost microreactor made of polymethylmethacrylate was mechanically fabricated with a microchannel. The laminar flow behavior was investigated by visualizing the flow of red and green aqueous solutions. Digitized color images from [...]
