Researchers hope to diagnose deadly Ebola virus with nanotech
Scientists have built a prototype of a device that can diagnose the deadly Ebola virus by shining light on viral nanoparticles on silicon.
Scientists have built a prototype of a device that can diagnose the deadly Ebola virus by shining light on viral nanoparticles on silicon.
With more than 6500 cases of the Ebola virus in West Africa, 3000 deaths and now one confirmed case in the United States, scientists are trying to find a way to detect the deadly virus more quickly, cheaply and easily.
And they're increasingly using nanotechnology to do it.
A team of researchers at Boston University's College of Engineering and its School of Medicine has been working for the past five years to develop a portable device that uses a silicon chip to diagnose a patient with Ebola, or other hemorrhagic fever diseases like the Marburg virus or Lassa Fever.
What's potentially important about this diagnostic device is that it could easily be used in remote areas with limited electrical and medical resources.
"What motivates us is that there are some really good tests to diagnose these diseases but none of these tests are easily transported where they are needed," said John H. Connor, an associate professor in BU's Department of Microbiology and a virologist on the research team. "They have to fly in heavy, electricity-requiring machines that require specialized training and special ingredients to make the diagnostics work properly. They're expensive, time intensive and, most importantly, they're pretty much locked to a clinical lab."
That's a problem for countries like Liberia, which has suffered more than 3,400 cases of Ebola and more than 1,800 deaths in this outbreak, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that the Ebola virus, once known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is one of the world's most virulent diseases, with a fatality rate of approximately 90%. Spread by direct contact with the blood, fluids and tissues of infected animals or people, authorities have attempted to contain the outbreak, which began in Guinea and has spread to other countries, including Liberia and Nigeria, which have both declared health emergencies because of it.
Liberia, for example, simply doesn't have the resources to dot the countryside with well-equipped, high-tech clinics that can run traditional diagnostic machines.

A group of researchers from Switzerland has thrown light on the precise mechanisms responsible for the impressive ability of nanoparticles to detect fingermarks left at crime scenes.
Publishing their results today, 2 October, in IOP Publishing's journal Nanotechnology, the researchers have provided evidence contesting the commonly accepted theory that nanoparticles are attracted to fingermarks electrostatically.
The attraction, they claim, is in fact chemical and is caused by compounds on the surface of nanoparticles bonding with a complex cocktail of compounds present in fingermark residue.
The researchers believe a more fundamental understanding of the interactions between nanoparticles and fingermarks will promote the development of more precise targeting methods and increase the chances of detecting previously undetectable fingermarks.
Indeed, it has been estimated that around 50 per cent of the fingermarks left on paper remain undetected.
Lead author of the study Sebastien Moret said: "There are number of different techniques used to visualise fingermarks when they are brought into the lab; however, they all lack sensitivity."
"Some of these techniques show an affinity not only for fingermarks, but also for the substrate or surface that the mark was left on, leading to background staining that conceals the fingermark."

Nanotechnology innovation promises cheaper, clearer LEDs
September 25, 2014 // Paul Buckley
Princeton University researchers have developed a new method of increasing the brightness, efficiency and clarity of LEDs used on smartphones and portable electronics as well as for lighting applications.
Page 1 of 3
The method also claims to improve the picture clarity of LED displays by 400 percent, compared with conventional approaches. In an article published online in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, the researchers described how they accomplished the performance improvements by inventing a technique that manipulates light on a scale smaller than a single wavelength.
"New nanotechnology can change the rules of the ways we manipulate light," said Chou, who has been working in the field for 30 years. "We can use this to make devices with unprecedented performance."
Current LEDs have design challenges; foremost among them is to reduce the amount of light that gets trapped inside the LED's structure. Although they are known for their efficiency, only a small amount of light generated inside an LED actually escapes.
"It is exactly the same reason that lighting installed inside a swimming pool seems dim from outside because the water traps the light," said Chou, the Joseph C. Elgin Professor of Engineering. "The solid structure of a LED traps far more light than the pool's water."
In fact, a rudimentary LED emits only about two to four percent of the light it generates. The trapped light not only makes the LEDs dim and energy inefficient, it also makes them short-lived because the trapped light heats the LED, which greatly reduces its lifespan.
"A holy grail in today's LED manufacturing is light extraction," Chou said.
Engineers have been working on this problem. By adding metal reflectors, lenses or other structures, they can increase the light extraction of LEDs. For conventional high-end, organic LEDs, these techniques can increase light extraction to about 38 percent. But these light-extraction techniques cause the display to reflect ambient light, which reduces contrast and makes the image seem hazy.

Y-Prize competition helps bring Penn-developed nanotechnology to the market
The hottest new ideas applying nanotechnology to the real world are developing right here at Penn.
On Wednesday night, the Wharton and Engineering schools, the Mack Institute for Innovation Management,and the Penn Center for Innovation held a kickoff event for the third-annual Y-Prize competition . The evening centered around the presentation of this year's Penn faculty-developed technologies. Students competing in Y-Prize will work in teams to choose one of the three technologies to market as a product. They willpresent their ideas to a panel of judges and the winners of the contest willreceive a $5,000 prize as well as an exclusive opportunity to market their technology.
Each year, the contest focuses on a different area of technology this year, nanotechnology.The recent opening of the Singh Center for Nanotechnology has brought this new and exciting field into the spotlight at Penn. With Y-Prize, three Penn professors will have the opportunity to see their ideas take off through student innovation.
Engineering professor Vijay Kumar , a founder of the competition, introduced the event by welcoming students and discussing the goal of the program: innovative cooperation between the brightest mindsof science and business.
Several contributors to the program also made remarks. Engineering professor Kathleen Stebe emphasized the importance of learning through hands-on work, calling the competition a beautiful union of everything that were supposed to be about at the University of Pennsylvania.
Wharton professor Saikat Chaudhuri also spoke about the necessity of integrating ideas from various academic areas. Interdisciplinary application between fields is most necessary to solve the most pressing problems, he said.
The event proceeded with detailed presentations of the three technologies that will be the focus of the competition. This year, students plans will feature ultra-strong material that is only one atom in thickness, batteries that charge in minutes but last for hours and a special adhesive surface that sticks and unsticks on command.
Wharton and Engineeringsenior Bahram Banisadr is competing in Y-Prize for the second time. He believes that the contest fits well with the Penn entrepreneurial mindset.
According to Banisadr, many Penn students tend to pursue only a few specific career paths. The Y-Prize program, he said, allows students to think and learn in a new, original way. Its just one of many very cool opportunities out there.
Student proposals for Y-Prize are due in early November. Finalists will be announced in late November and the winners will be determined in January.

Nanotechnology leads to better, cheaper LEDs for phones and lighting
PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:
24-Sep-2014
Contact: John Sullivan js29@princeton.edu 609-258-4597 Princeton University, Engineering School
Princeton University researchers have developed a new method to increase the brightness, efficiency and clarity of LEDs, which are widely used on smartphones and portable electronics as well as becoming increasingly common in lighting.
Using a new nanoscale structure, the researchers, led by electrical engineering professor Stephen Chou, increased the brightness and efficiency of LEDs made of organic materials (flexible carbon-based sheets) by 58 percent. The researchers also report their method should yield similar improvements in LEDs made in inorganic (silicon-based) materials used most commonly today.
The method also improves the picture clarity of LED displays by 400 percent, compared with conventional approaches. In an article published online August 19 in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, the researchers describe how they accomplished this by inventing a technique that manipulates light on a scale smaller than a single wavelength.
"New nanotechnology can change the rules of the ways we manipulate light," said Chou, who has been working in the field for 30 years. "We can use this to make devices with unprecedented performance."
A LED, or light emitting diode, is an electronic device that emits light when electrical current moves through two terminals. LEDs offer several advantages over incandescent or fluorescent lights: they are far more efficient, compact and have a longer lifetime, all of which are important in portable displays.
Current LEDs have design challenges; foremost among them is to reduce the amount of light that gets trapped inside the LED's structure. Although they are known for their efficiency, only a very small amount of light generated inside an LED actually escapes.

Nanotech can help tackle terrorism: Researchers
New Delhi, Sep 21: Self-reliance in nanotechnology can help India become self-reliant in sectors like defence and in combating terrorism, according to researchers at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore.
From water purification to manufacturing to wrinkle-free fabrics to curing cancer, nano technology holds great potential for India and a multi-pronged approach will ensure that this is fully leveraged, they said.
One possible means of bridging the gap between India's abundant, varied natural resources and her ever-increasing requirements like clean water, food and rapid, low-cost diagnostic machinery is the use of nanotechnology, say Arindam Ghosh and Yamuna Krishnan in the international journal Nature Nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology is manipulation of matter on a scale of nanometre or 0.000000001 m. Since the dimensions of atoms and molecule are in nanometres, this technology is called nanotechnology and the resulting materials nanomaterials.
Although India promoted research in nanotechnology through the "NanoScience and Technology Initiative", started with a funding of Rs 60 crore, the country launched a five-year programme 'Nano Mission' with wider objectives and larger funding of USD 250 million spanning multiple areas like basic research in nanotechnology, human resources development, infrastructure development and international collaboration, there is lot of room for improvement, the researchers quoted by Gubbi Labs say.
But, the research says that the amount India spends on nanotechnology research is still just a fraction of the research spending of countries like Japan, the US, France and China.

It's a Small, Small, Small, Small World
With the tools of the nanotechnology trade becoming better defined, the ability to create new materials and devices by placing every atom and molecule in the right place is moving closer to reality.
The properties of materials depend on how their atoms are arranged. Rearrange the atoms in coal and you get diamonds. Rearrange the atoms in soil, water, and air, and you have grass. And since humans first made stone tools and flint knives, we have been manipulating atoms in great thundering statistical herds by casting, milling, grinding, and chipping materials. We rearrange the atoms in sand, for example, add a pinch of impurities, and we produce computer chips. We have gotten better and better at it, and can make more things at lower cost and with greater precision than ever before.
Even in our most precise work, we move atoms around in massive heaps and untidy piles-millions or billions of them at a time. Theoretical analyses make it clear, however, that we should be able to rearrange atoms and molecules one by one-with every atom in just the right place-much as we might arrange Lego blocks to create a model building or simple machine. This technology, often called nanotechnology or molecular manufacturing, will allow us to make most products lighter, stronger, smarter, cheaper, cleaner, and more precise.
The consequences would be great. We could, for starters, continue the revolution in computer hardware right down to molecular-sized switches and wires. The ability to build things molecule by molecule would also let us make a new class of structural materials that would be more than 50 times stronger than steel of the same weight: a Cadillac might weigh 100 pounds; a full-size sofa could be picked up with one hand. The ability to build molecule by molecule could also give us surgical instruments of such precision and deftness that they could operate on the cells and even molecules from which we are made.
The ability to make such products probably lies a few decades away. But theoretical and computational models provide assurances that the molecular manufacturing systems needed for the task are possible-that they do not violate existing physical law. These models also give us a feel for what a molecular manufacturing system might look like. This is an important foundation: after all, the basic idea of an electrical relay was known in the 1820s, and the concept of a mechanical computer that operated off a stored set of instructions-a program-was understood a few years later. But computers using relays were not built till much later because no good theoretical comprehension of computation existed. Today, scientists are devising numerous tools and techniques that will be needed to transform nanotechnology from computer models into reality. While most remain in the realm of theory, there appears to be no fundamental barrier to their development.
