TL;DR: In this article, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) method has been used to calculate the lattice thermal conductivities of Ar and Kr/Ar nanostructures in order to study the effects of interface scattering, boundary scattering, and elastic strain.

TL;DR: Results show that communication between neurons and glia is critical for the formation and stability of synapses and point to the importance of developing neuron-glia co-culture systems such as the microfluidic platforms described in this study.

TL;DR: In this paper, single-crystalline GaNotubes of materials with a non-layered crystal structure are described, and the resulting GaN nanotubes have inner diameters ranging from 30 nm to 200 nm and wall thickness between 5 and 50 nm.

TL;DR: This novel technological platform will replicate chemical communication, molecular trafficking, and inflammation in the brain, and enable targeted and clinically relevant nutritional and pharmacologic interventions for or prevention of such chronic diseases as obesity and acute injury such as stroke, and will uncover potential adverse effects of drugs.

TL;DR: Experimental results on a 66-nm-diameter multiwalled carbon nanotube show that above 100 K, contact thermal resistance can contribute up to 50% of the total measured thermal resistance, and indicate that for nanotubes of relatively high thermal conductance, electron-beam-induced gold deposition at the tube-substrate contacts may not reduce the contact Thermal resistance to a negligible level.
