Sometime in September, the group received the following invitation to write a book chapter: We, John Rogers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Jong-Hyun Ahn from Yonsei University, are editing a book that will be published by Wiley-VCH…

Hi All, just a quick post to up date you on what we are up to. 3 Things going on in the lab: Ryan continues to make his nano particles using chips, he is loading them with an anti-inflammatory agent…

Hi all, Presented here is a prototype of an “all purpose” SiN chip system for use in cell studies. The reason it was called “all purpose” because it is intended for simple cell culture and migration/chemotaxis studies. This prototype is…

I went to Kidney Week in Philly, Nov 13-15. American Society of Nephrology. I spent most of my time in the Bioengineering talks and posters. Here are some highlights. I put the Abstracts pdf on the cloud. Recellularization of Vascular…

Nanobattery Paper Nanobattery Supplement   I have long desired to make energy storage devices with our nanomembranes (supercapacitor post), mainly because they would be really great separators, having both excellent charge conduction and physical barrier resistance due to the porosity…

  Here is a graphical summary of the separation experiments performed the week of November 6th. Raw excel data is spread over 5 files: 11.4.14 qdot separations (10^13, 10^12, 10^11 Forward separations) 11.5.14 high conc reverse and forward (10^14 dots and IgG…

Ring Resonators are photonic structures that have a very repeatable behavior. As light is guided along a path, it can evanescently couple into a very closely positioned wire (submicron gap). If the wavelength of light is just right, constructive interference…

Vincent has asked us to integrate our nanoporous filter on top of a thin layer of silicon nitride, so that he can clean up his analyte before being exposed to his single nanopore (fabricated using a dielectric breakdown). There are…
