This lovely paper: 121025 – ACSnano fluidic transistor pore details the creation of a “nanofluidic transistor”. In essence, by changing the charge on the (metallized) membrane from 0V to 500V, the group can completely stop the transport of DNA molecules (which are driven across the membrane via electrophoresis) or allow them to pass. The membrane is an…
In researching for the paper for Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease (ACKD) I’ve run across some interesting papers. Here is one describing a proposed Human Nephron Filter… Human nephron filter proposed by Nissenson1 (1) 1Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA This imagined device was…

I took some copper tape and made a bus bar for BBB device V2-8. I used tweezers to smooth down the surface of the tape on each planar surface, routing the copper to the back side of each face, then collecting the lines to one side of the device. I verified that the connections…
Hello everyone! I plan to write several posts in the next couple of weeks about the laser annealing of our sputtered three-layer stack. This laser annealing experiment is done at Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). It is a collaborational proposal we submitted at the end of last year…
