TL;DR: Simulations show that the bandwidth of this branched intracellular nanotube FET (BIT-FET) is high enough for it to record fast action potentials even when the nanot tube diameter is decreased to 3 nm, a length scale which is well below that accessible with other methods.

TL;DR: In the upper tropospheric air masses sampled, the production rate for ozone (determined from the measured concentrations of HO_2 and NO) is calculated to be about 1 part per billion by volume each day.

TL;DR: An approach for high-resolution tracing of neurons, their subassemblies, and their molecular constituents over large volumes is introduced, which can enable high-throughput comparative studies of neural development, circuit stereotypy, and structural correlations to neural activity or behavior.

TL;DR: This work fabricates free-standing probes where a kinked silicon nanowire with encoded field-effect transistor detector serves as the tip end, and demonstrates real-time monitoring of changes in the action potential as different ion-channel blockers are applied to cells, and multiplexed recording from cells by independent manipulation of two free- standing nanowires.

TL;DR: It is shown that for certain conditions, depositing Si onto uniform-diameter Si cores, Ge onto Ge cores and Ge onto Si cores can generate diameter-modulated core-shell nanowires and suggest that surface energy reductions drive the formation of periodic shells.
