Columbia engineers invent nanoscale IC that enables simultaneous transmission and reception at the same frequency in a wireless radio A team of Columbia Engineering researchers has invented a technology--full-duplex radio integrated circuits (ICS)--that can be implemented in nanoscale CMOS to enable simultaneous transmission and reception
at the same frequency in a wireless radio. Up to now, this has been thought to be impossible: transmitters and receivers either work at different times or at the same time but at different frequencies.
but no one has yet been able to build tiny nanoscale ICS with this capability.""Our work is the first to demonstrate an IC that can receive
especially when performed in a tiny nanoscale IC, and we have found a way to solve that challenge."
The Berkeley researchers were able to overcome both these hurdles by forming their grating bars using a semiconductor layer of silicon approximately 120 nanometers thick.
Their initial design, subjected to a change in period of a mere 25 nanometers, created brilliant colors that could be shifted from green to yellow,
orange, and red-across a 39-nanometer range of wavelengths. Future designs, the researchers believe,

#High performance, lightweight supercapacitor electrodes of the future Abstract: Researchers have developed a novel electrode to make low-cost, lightweight supercapacitors with superior performance,
Now two researchers from the S n. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, India, have developed a novel supercapacitor electrode based on a hybrid nanostructure made from a hybrid nickel oxide-iron oxide
from AIP Publishing, the researchers report the fabrication technique of the hybrid nanostructure electrode. They also demonstrate its superior performance compared to existing, non-hybrid supercapacitor electrodes.
National Centre for Basic Sciences, mixed nickel oxide and iron oxide as a hybrid material and fabricated the novel core/shell nanostructure electrode."
In Singh's experiment, the core/shell hybrid nanostructure was fabricated through a two-step method. Using a standard electro-deposition technique,
the researchers grew arrays of iron-nickel nanowires inside the pores of anodized alumina oxide templates,
then dissolved the templates to obtain the bare hybrid nanowires. After that, the researchers exposed the nanowires in an oxygen environment at high temperature (450 degrees Celsius) for a short time,
eventually developing a highly porous iron oxide-nickel oxide hybrid shell around the iron-nickel core."
"The advantage of this core/shell hybrid nanostructure is that the highly porous shell nanolayer provides a very large surface area for redox reactions
and iron/iron oxide core/shell nanostructure electrodes, the hybrid material electrode demonstrated higher capacitance,
"The remarkable electrochemical performances and material properties suggest that the iron oxide-nickel oxide hybrid core/shell nanostructure could be a reliable and promising candidate for fabricating the next generation lightweight, low-cost

#Researchers develop new way to manufacture nanofibers Abstract: Researchers at the University of Georgia have developed an inexpensive way to manufacture extraordinarily thin polymer strings commonly known as nanofibers.
These polymers can be made from natural materials like proteins or from human-made substances to make plastic,
scalable and safe means for producing very large quantities of nanofibers that can be embedded with a multitude of materials,
Many thousands of times thinner than the average human hair, nanofibers are used by medical researchers to create advanced wound dressings--and for tissue regeneration
"The process we have developed makes it possible for almost anyone to manufacture high-quality nanofibers without the need for expensive equipment,
but it also makes it possible for more businesses and researchers to experiment with nanofibers without worrying too much about their budget."
"Currently, the most common nanofiber manufacturing technique--electrospinning--uses high-voltage electricity and specially designed equipment to produce the polymer strings.
"In contrast to other nanofiber spinning devices, most of the equipment used in our device is very simple,
"At laboratory scale, a very simple handcrafted setup is capable of producing spools containing hundreds of yards of nanofibers in a matter of seconds.
forming a nanofiber string that winds around the platter as it continues to spin. The device can spin at more than 1
000 revolutions per minute, enough time to create more than 50 kilometers--or about 31 miles--of ultra-thin nanofiber.
just as thin and just as strong as nanofibers created through other methods, "he said.""Plus, users don't have to worry about the safety issues of using high voltages or the complexity of other machines."
"The researchers can use this method to create a variety of nanofibers simply by changing the polymer placed in the syringe.
for example, create specially designed nanofibers that will promote the growth of stem cells. Fibers like these are used currently to create scaffolding for lab-grown tissues and organs.
Nanofibers can also be loaded with proteins, nanotubes, fluorescent materials and therapeutic agents.""We can use almost any kind of polymer with this platform,
and we can tailor make the nanofibers for different applications, "Minko said.""It's like cooking.

Non-aqueous solvent supports DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY Abstract: Scientists around the world are using the programmability of DNA to assemble complex nanometer scale structures.
Until now, however, production of these artificial structures has been limited to water-based environments, because DNA naturally functions inside the watery environment of living cells.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of technology have shown now that they can assemble DNA NANOSTRUCTURES in a solvent containing no water.
The research could open up new applications for DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY and help apply DNA technology to the fabrication of nanoscale semiconductor and plasmonic structures.
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation and NASA, the research will be published as the cover story in Issue 23 of the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
NA nanotechnology structures are getting more and more complex, and this solvent could help researchers that are working in this growing field,
we have shown that DNA NANOSTRUCTURES can be assembled in a water-free solvent, and that we can mix water with the same solvent to speed up the assembly.
The assembly rate of DNA NANOSTRUCTURES can be very slow, and depends strongly on temperature. Raising the temperature increases this rate,
This solvent also offers enhanced properties for nanotechnology and for the stability of these nanomaterials in solution.
Gállego had worked in DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY before coming to Georgia Tech, and was convinced that alternative solvents could advance this field.
At Georgia Tech he evaluated new solvents for use with DNA NANOSTRUCTURES, solvents that had been designed for other purposes.
Structures that fail to completely assemble are a major source of low yields in the DNA nanofabrication process. his solvent could provide a new tool to make more complicated designs with DNA
he added. inetic traps are among the bottlenecks for producing more complicated DNA NANOSTRUCTURES. Glycholine is miscible in water
A key feature of the new solvent system is that it does not require changes to existing DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY designs that were developed for water. ou can go back
The solvent system could improve the combined use of metallic nanoparticles and DNA based materials. In the typical aqueous solvents where DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY is performed
nanoparticles are prone to aggregation. The solvent low volatility could also allow storage of assembled DNA structures without the concern that a water-based medium would dry out.
The research team, which also included Martha Grover from Georgia Tech School of Chemical & Biomolecular engineering, has used so far the solvent to assemble three structures,
and investigate other solvents that may have additional properties attractive for nanotechnology applications. e were confident all along that we would find a solvent that would be compatible with existing DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY,
because DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY was developed in water. The research on water-free solvents grew out of Georgia Tech research into the origins of life.
while also having applications in nanotechnology. This research was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the NASA Astrobiology Program under the NSF Center for Chemical Evolution (CHE-1004570.

"said Eggehard Holler, Phd, professor of neurosurgery and director of nanodrug synthesis at Cedars-Sinai.
"The nanodrug is engineered to cross this barrier with its payload intact, so drugs that are effective outside the brain may be effective inside as well,"Black added.##
