  • Challenges for Nanomechanics of Biological Systems
    NNI Interagency Workshop : Instrumentation and Metrology for Nanotechnology Grand Challenge Workshop National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD Jan 27-29, 2004 Challenges for Nanomechanics of Biological Systems Christine Ortiz, Assistant Professor Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Materials Science and Engineering WWW : http://web.mit.edu/cortiz/www/ Biological systems are one of the most difficult classes of materials to study mechanically at the nanoscale.1-3 Their complex multilevel and multicomponent structures (e.g. tissues, cells, proteins) need to be highly purified and characterized with minimal sample preparation damage (if possible, with no polishing and chemical treatments) so as to still give information relevant to in vivo function. Nanomechanical testing can be challenging due to the need for near-physiological conditions (i.e. aqueous salt solutions, ionic strength=0.15M, pH=7.4), the existence of varied 3-dimensional geometries and multiple buried interfaces, and their dynamic and sometimes, extremely soft, fluid-like nature. Following is a summary of a few new areas which I believe represent the most significant new paths in this field. I. Integration of Nanomechanical Testing Methods with Nanoscale Chemical/Structural Characterization Techniques Down to the Single Molecule Level in Near-Phys iological Conditions. One promising example of this is the combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)(Figure 1).4-8 SERS is a higher resolution version of traditional Raman spectroscopy, in which the wavelength and intensity of inelastically scattered light from molecules is measured. These wavelengths are shifted from the incident light by the energies of molecular vibrations and hence, allow for chemical identification and characterization of substances.

  • 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.

  • Engineered Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene for Nanoelectronics And
    Engineered Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene for Nanoelectronics and Nanomechanics E. H. Yang Stevens Institute of Technology, Castle Point on Hudson, Hoboken, NJ, USA, 07030 ABSTRACT We are exploring nanoelectronic engineering areas based on low dimensional materials, including carbon nanotubes and graphene. Our primary research focus is investigating carbon nanotube and graphene architectures for field emission applications, energy harvesting and sensing. In a second effort, we are developing a high-throughput desktop nanolithography process. Lastly, we are studying nanomechanical actuators and associated nanoscale measurement techniques for re-configurable arrayed nanostructures with applications in antennas, remote detectors, and biomedical nanorobots. The devices we fabricate, assemble, manipulate, and characterize potentially have a wide range of applications including those that emerge as sensors, detectors, system-on-a-chip, system-in-a-package, programmable logic controls, energy storage systems, and all-electronic systems. INTRODUCTION A key attribute of modern warfare is the use of advanced electronics and information technologies. The ability to process, analyze, distribute and act upon information from sensors and other data at very high- speeds has given the US military unparalleled technological superiority and agility in the battlefield. While recent advances in materials and processing methods have led to the development of faster processors and high-speed devices, it is anticipated that future technological breakthroughs in these areas will increasingly be driven by advances in nanoelectronics. A vital enabler in generating significant improvements in nanoelectronics is graphene, a recently discovered nanoelectronic material. The outstanding electrical properties of both carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [1] and graphene [2] make them exceptional candidates for the development of novel electronic devices.

    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.

  • 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
