Title

 

Graphene-Magnet Multilayers for Spintronic Devices

 

Summary Describes the use of magnetism to manipulate the quantum spin of electrons to generate additional current.
Competitive Advantage Circumvents the current fundamental technological limitations of size and efficiency of electronic devices that are based on manipulating electronic charge.
Applications Includes spintronic devices such as (re-)writable microchips, transistors and logic gates.  This process can be adapted to create active, re-writable and re-configurable spintronic devices whose function changes depending on the magnetization pattern written on the magnetic medium.

Title

 

Generation of Janus Type Nanoparticles

 

Summary Describes an approach to assemble nanomaterials at a colloidal substrate in a layer by layer fashion with biomolecules governing the interaction between the layers.  This biomolecule-driven nano-assembly platform using encoded solid supports helps the construction of modular nanosystems with complex architectures.  In addition, the proposed approach allows fabrication of Janus-type constructions
Competitive Advantage The system is simple, modular and allows high throughput fabrication.  The assembly is economical and can be performed in aqueous solution without strenuous environmental controls and laborious purification steps.
Applications Generation of a broad range of nanoparticle monomers with controlled anisotropy which can be used in a number of applications including targeted drug delivery, microsensor systems, stabilizers of complex media, and nanocomponents in smart displays.

Title

Assembly of 2D and 3D DNA-Based Nanosystems

Summary Describes using DNA as a platform to tailor inter-object attraction and repulsion to generate 2D and 3D DNA-guided micro and nanoparticle assemblies.  The DNA-based nanosystems formed may have non-close packed structures.
Competitive Advantage The technology offers unlimited ability to fabricate three-dimensional structures with controllable order and particle-particle distance.  In addition, the rate and degree of assembly and aggregation can be controlled.
Applications Generation of a broad range of precisely ordered novel 3D body-centered cubic (BCC) crystalline metamaterials for use in optical, magnetic, and medical applications.
