Structures found on meteorite fragment Allan Hills 84001. Nanobacterium (/ ˌ n æ n oʊ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i əm / NAN-oh-bak-TEER-ee-əm, pl. nanobacteria / ˌ n æ n oʊ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i ə / NAN-oh-bak-TEER-ee-ə) is the unit or member name of a former proposed class of living organisms, specifically cell-walled microorganisms, now discredited, with a size much smaller than the generally ...
A nanowire is a nanostructure in the form of a wire with the diameter of the order of a nanometre (10 −9 m). More generally, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length.
Bacterial nanowires vary from traditionally utilized silicon nanowires by showing an increased degree of biocompatibility. More research is needed, but the memristors may eventually be used to directly process biosensing signals , for neuromorphic computing and/or direct communication with biological neurons .
Most types of molecular wires are derived from organic molecules. One naturally occurring molecular wire is DNA.Prominent inorganic examples include polymeric materials such as Li 2 Mo 6 Se 6 [1] and Mo 6 S 9−x I x, [2] [3] [4] [Pd 4 (CO) 4 (OAc) 4 Pd(acac) 2], [5] and single-molecule extended metal atom chains (EMACs) which comprise strings of transition metal atoms directly bonded to each ...
Three dimensional molecular model of an all-carbon tubular fullerene.. This is a list of notable computer programs that are used to model nanostructures at the levels of classical mechanics [1] and quantum mechanics.
InGaN/GaN nanorod array light-emitting diodes can be manufactured with dry etching or focused ion beam etching techniques. [6] Such LEDs emit polarized blue or green light [7] Three-dimensional nanorod structures have a larger emitting surface, which results in better efficiency and light emission compared to planar LEDs. [8]
They vary widely, however, due to highly localized regions of the nanowires where the effective cross-sectional area for superconducting current is reduced. [29] SNSPD devices have also demonstrated exceptionally low jitter – the uncertainty in the photon arrival time – as low as 3 picoseconds at visible wavelengths.
A nanolaser is a laser that has nanoscale dimensions and it refers to a micro-/nano- device which can emit light with light or electric excitation of nanowires or other nanomaterials that serve as resonators. A standard feature of nanolasers includes their light confinement on a scale approaching or suppressing the diffraction limit of light.
