Nanoscience offers the promise of producing revolutionary advances in many areas of science and technology, ranging from electronics and computing to biology and medicine, yet the realization of this promise will depend critically on the rational development of unique nanoscale structures whose properties and/or function are controlled during materials synthesis. This review will illustrate these...
In our study, we investigated the quantum dots integrated with silica binding peptides on silica surface for three different assembly approaches. We used biotinylated silica binding peptides (SBP-bio) as smart linkers to immobilize quantum dots and streptavidin functionalized CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (SA-QD) as light emitters.
It is evident that a four-letter prefix of Greek origin "nano" is one of the most frequently used in scientific publications as well as in the mass media in recent years. The present review is purported to show that at nanoscale almost all branches of natural sciences effectively merge and so the natural philosophy is coming back. Moreover, the immense potential of nanotechnology sits exactly...
One important application of nanotechnology is that of drug delivery, and in particular the targeted delivery of drugs using nanotubes. A proper understanding of the encapsulation behavior of drug molecules into nanotubes is vital for the development of nanoscale drug delivery vehicles. Furthermore, there are many other materials which may form single-walled nanotubes, such as carbon, boron carbide,...
We report a new scanning probe based method to achieve a controllable direct "writing" of metallic nanostructures. By scanning a gold-coated scanning probe tip on a single crystal silicon surface in ambient environment, nano-sized gold dots and wires were directly formed as a result of direct gold material transfer from scanning probe tip onto silicon surface. Such gold nanostructures could...
Studies of the biological relevance of nanocarbon materials have attracted much attention. While the scientific community has primarily focused on the potential biological applications of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, another important form of nanocarbon materials, nanodiamonds (NDs), are beginning to emerge as alternative candidates for similar and other applications due to their high biocompatibility,...
