Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanofibers and Related Structures: Controlled Synthesis and Directed Assembly
Anatoli V. Melechko,Vladimir I. Merkulov,Timothy E. McKnight,Michael A. Guillorn,Kate L. Klein,Douglas H. Lowndes,Michael L. Simpson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the application areas for carbon nanotubes and nanofibers including electron field-emission sources, electrochemical probes, functionalized sensor elements, scanning probe microscopy tips, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), hydrogen and charge storage, and catalyst support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated system for rapid PCR-based DNA analysis in microfluidic devices.
Julia Khandurina,Timothy E. McKnight,Stephen C. Jacobson,Larry C. Waters,Robert S. Foote,J. Michael Ramsey +5 more
TL;DR: An integrated system for rapid PCR-based analysis on a microchip has been demonstrated and an on-chip DNA concentration technique has been incorporated into the system to further reduce analysis time by decreasing the number of thermal cycles required.
Journal ArticleDOI
