The
Molecular Foundry is a DOE
User Facility charged with providing support
to nanoscience researchers in academic, government and industrial
laboratories around the world. The Foundry provides users
with instruments, techniques and collaborators to enhance
their studies of the synthesis, characterization and theory
of nanoscale materials. Its six
facilities focus
on both “soft” (biological and
polymeric) and “hard” (inorganic and microfabricated)
nanostructured building blocks, and their integration into
complex functional assemblies. Users are invited to submit
proposals requesting
free access to Foundry instruments, techniques, and skilled
staff.

Silicon
Nanowires Deliver Genes
into Mammalian Cells
User Bruce Conklin, (Inorganic Facility)
grew stem cells on a Si surface arrayed with vertically aligned
DNA-coated Si nanowires. The wires penetrated the cells without
apparent damage and the DNA was successfully delivered and
then expressed inside.
