  • Nanotechnology and Picotechnology to Increase Tissue Growth: a Summary of in Vivo Studies
    Nanotechnology and picotechnology to increase tissue growth: a summary of in vivo studies Ece Alpaslan1 and Thomas J Webster1,2 Author information ► Copyright and License information ► Go to: Abstract The aim of tissue engineering is to develop functional substitutes for damaged tissues or malfunctioning organs. Since only nanomaterials can mimic the surface properties (ie, roughness) of natural tissues and have tunable properties (such as mechanical, magnetic, electrical, optical, and other properties), they are good candidates for increasing tissue growth, minimizing inflammation, and inhibiting infection. Recently, the use of nanomaterials in various tissue engineering applications has demonstrated improved tissue growth compared to what has been achieved until today with our conventional micron structured materials. This short report paper will summarize some of the more relevant advancements nanomaterials have made in regenerative medicine, specifically improving bone and bladder tissue growth. Moreover, this short report paper will also address the continued potential risks and toxicity concerns, which need to be accurately addressed by the use of nanomaterials. Lastly, this paper will emphasize a new field, picotechnology, in which researchers are altering electron distributions around atoms to promote surface energy to achieve similar increased tissue growth, decreased inflammation, and inhibited infection without potential nanomaterial toxicity concerns. Keywords: nanomaterials, tissue engineering, toxicity Go to: Introduction Bone tissue and other organ dysfunction can be provoked by poor eating habits, stress, age-related diseases such as osteoarthritis or osteoporosis, as well as accidents.1 To date, common procedures to restore or enhance life expectancy involve medical device insertion or organ transplantation.1 However, due to the low number of donors and its high cost, organ transplantation is limited.

  • Introducing Nanoengineering and Nanotechnology to the First Year Students Through an Interactive Seminar Course
    Introducing nanoengineering and nanotechnology to the first year students through an interactive seminar course Hassan Raza1, Tehseen Z. Raza2 1 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242, USA [email protected] 2 Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242, USA [email protected] Abstract: We report a first year seminar course on nanoengineering, which provides a unique opportunity to get exposed to the bottom-up approach and novel nanotechnology applications in an informal small class setting early in the undergraduate engineering education. Our objective is not only to introduce the fundamentals and applications of nanoengineering but also the issues related to ethics, environmental and societal impact of nanotechnology used in engineering. To make the course more interactive, laboratory tours for microfabrication facility, microscopy facility, and nanoscale laboratory at the University of Iowa are included, which inculcate the practical feel of the technology. The course also involves active student participation through weekly student presentations, highlighting topics of interest to this field, with the incentive of “nano is everywhere!” Final term papers submitted by the students involve a rigorous technology analysis through various perspectives. Furthermore, a student based peer review process is developed which helps them to improve technical writing skills, as well as address the ethical issues of academic honesty while reviewing and getting introduced to a new aspect of the area presented by their colleagues. Based on the chosen paper topics and student ratings, the student seemed motivated to learn about the novel area introduced to them through theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of the bottom-up approach.

Academic Editors: Prabir Patra and Ashish Aphale Received: 9 September 2015 / Accepted: 14 October 2015 / Published: 23 November 2015 Abstract: Nanotechnology is becoming increasingly important in the field of (bio)sensors. The performance and sensitivity of biosensors is greatly improved with the integration of nanomaterials into their construction. Since its first discovery, fullerene-C60 has been the object of extensive research. Its unique and favorable characteristics of easy chemical modification, conductivity, and electrochemical properties has led to its tremendous use in (bio)sensor applications. This paper provides a concise review of advances in fullerene-C60 research and its use as a nanomaterial for the development of biosensors. We examine the research work reported in the literature on the synthesis, functionalization, approaches to nanostructuring electrodes with fullerene, and outline some of the exciting applications in the field of (bio)sensing. Keywords: nanotechnology; nanostructures; nano-bio hybrids; fullerene-biomolecule; biosensors 1. Introduction Bio-nanotechnology is a new emerging field of nanotechnology and combines knowledge from engineering, physics, and molecular engineering with biology, chemistry, and biotechnology aimed at the development of novel devices, such as biosensors, nanomedicines, and bio-photonics [1].

  • Engineering and Engineering Technology
    Engineering and Engineering Technology Career Information Definition according to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET): Engineering is the profession in which knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize economically the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. Engineering Technology is the part of the technological field that requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities; it lies in the occupational spectrum between the craftsman and the engineer at the end of the spectrum closest to the engineer. Difference between Engineering Technology and Engineering Technical engineering projects involve research, complex analysis/design, development, manufacturing, test/evaluation, production, operation and distribution/sales of a finished and successful product. Engineers are mostly involved in the initial phase, whereas engineering technologists are mostly involved in the final phases. Their roles overlap in the development, manufacturing and test/evaluation of a product. Therefore, Engineering Technology is all about applying engineering principles to get the job done successfully (Applications Engineering). Engineers are the scientists within the team with in-depth math/science knowledge. Engineering technologists work as technical members of the engineering team with math/science background. Cal Poly

  • Nanotechnology - Fundamentals and Applications 1
    D. Cremer, CHEM 6342, Nanotechnology - Fundamentals and Applications 1 CHEM 6342 Nanotechnology – Fundamentals and Applications Class location: TBD Lectures, time and location: TBD Lab times and location: TBD Instructor: Dieter Cremer, 325 FOSC, ext 8-1300, [email protected] http://smu.edu/catco/ Office Hours: By appointment Units: 3 Grading: ABC Letter Grade Class number TBD 1. Rationale: Nanotechnology (NT) is a rather young discipline, which came up in the nineties. Nevertheless, NT has gained so much importance within the last years that universities at all rankings have introduced or are going to introduce NT teaching programs. Predictions say that NT will change our lives and society more than computer technology and electricity have done together. The course will provide an overview over NT. It will show that the nano regime is so different from other regimes because both classical and quantum effects can be active thus leading to unique properties of nano devices. NT is a highly interdisciplinary science, which will be reflected in the course by making reference to chemistry, physics, biology, pharmacy, and engineering. Applications of NT, as they are already in use today or as they are planned for the future, will be discussed. 2. Course Recommendations: The course is designed to reach all graduate students who had have an education in chemistry, physics, engineering or biology. It does not require special knowledge in mathematics or theoretical physics. The course contents will be presented in self-sustained modules, which make it possible to follow the course without special knowledge. The course will prepare for the interdisciplinary work in NT.
