Nanotechnology is a new frontier for the advancement of science and technology. Nanomaterials are playing a crucial role and that they will continue to do so is beyond doubt. They are being used in electronic, magnetic, optical and...
Progress in nanotechnology is trending towards applications which require the integration of soft (organic or biological) and hard (semiconductor or metallic) materials. Many applications for functional nanomaterials are currently being...
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have shown very attractive mechanical properties, compared to current high-performance carbon fiber reinforcements. Recently, continuous CNT yarns (CNTy) have become commercially available and are becoming a...
Targeting the Kv1.3 Ion Channel with Peptide Inhibitors and Nanoparticle Bioconjugates: Neuromodulation of the Olfactory Bulb and Its Influence on Whole-Body Metabolism
Electrical signaling in the olfactory bulb (OB) is modulated by changes in metabolic state. The voltage-gated potassium channel, Kv1.3, makes up 60 - 80% of the outward current flow in mitral cells (MCs), the primary projection neurons...
The dynamic self-organization of lipids in biological systems is a highly regulated process that enables the compartmentalization of living systems at microscopic and nanoscopic levels. Exploiting the self-organization and innate...
Intelligent morphing structures will revolutionize micro-robotics, wearable technology, and tiny electro-mechanical systems. The ideal morphing structure is thin and flexible with the ability to deform and sense its surroundings....
The growing environmental concern over carbon dioxide emission has driven the demand for next-generation green vehicles like electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). This in turn calls for higher capacity and higher...
Carbon nanotube thin film, or buckypaper, is one of the most revolutionary materials in the 21st century. Mechanical, electrical, and thermodynamic properties that can only be dreamed of in science fiction novels are now within reach in...
Carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers are very promising materials for many applications. Strong interactions among individual CNTs could produce a dense yarn results in exceptional properties. These properties are used in the application of high...
Recently, the interest for renewable resources for fibers particularly of plant origin has been increasing. Reduction of use of traditional textile materials is now considered more critical due to the increasing environmental concern....
Nanoscience and nanotechnology research has provided us with new paradigms of technologies to improve human life, but still there is plenty of room to expand its frontiers. In order to do so, we need to pursue the development and study...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are known to exhibit outstanding mechanical, electrical, thermal, and coupled electromechanical properties. CNTs can be employed towards the design of an innovative strain sensor with enhanced multifunctionality...
This research studied an approach for the characterization of tensile properties of continuous carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns to potentially use as the primary composite reinforcement in aerospace applications. A standard approach was...
