Nano@Tech Meeting
Dr. Richard Brown, the Dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Utah gave a presentation entitled "Electrochemical Neurosensor Systems."
Abstract:
Arrays of silicon neurosensors that detect both electrical signals and neurotransmitter levels in human neuron cultures have been fabricated. Neurochemical sensing of dopamine and its metabolites is provided by voltammetry. Five versions of the passive device were fabricated with platinum working electrode areas as small as 4 mm2 and silver/silver chloride pseudo-reference electrodes. Living human neuron cultures survived and produced data on passive devices throughout a study period of seventy-five days. Calibration curves for dopamine taken in culture media with equipment optimized for the sensors suggests detection limits for dopamine below 100 nM.
To minimize system noise, prototype devices incorporating active circuitry were developed. The active devices are formed by post-processing standard foundry-fabricated CMOS circuits from the MOSIS service to form the sensor-specific features. Data from these devices, and early results from in vivo electrochemical neurosensors, will be presented. Circuits developed for these active brain probes and for other implantable biosensors highlight several goals of circuits for biological applications: small system size; small electronics size, low voltage, and low power.

Dr. Michael Fonseca, Ph.D., the Director of Operations & Engineering at CardioMEMS gave a presentation entitled " Development of Implantable Wireless Pressure Sensors for Chronic Disease Management."
Abstract:
CardioMEMS is a medical device company that has developed and is commercializing a proprietary wireless sensing and communication technology for the human body. Our technology platform is designed to improve the management of severe chronic cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure and aneurysms. Our miniature wireless sensors can be implanted using minimally invasive techniques and transmit cardiac output, blood pressure and heart rate data that are critical to the management of patients. Due to their small size, durability, and lack of wires and batteries, our sensors are designed to be permanently implanted into the cardiovascular system. Using radiofrequency (RF) energy, our sensors can transmit real-time data to an external electronics module, which then communicates this information to the patient’s physician.

Kurt Pennell, an associate professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering here at Georgia Tech, gave a presentation entitled "Transport and Retention of Nanoscale C-60 Aggregatess in Water-Saturated Porous Media."
Abstract:
Experimental and mathematical modeling studies were performed to investigate the transport and retention of fullerene nanoparticles (n-C60) in water-saturated porous media. Eight experiments were conducted in glass columns packed with either 40-50 mesh glass beads or Ottawa sand. Following pulse injections of solutions containing 1 to 3 mg/L of n-C60 aggregates (95 nm dia.) applied at a Darcy velocity of 2.8 m/d, media were extracted to obtain particle retention profiles. In the presence of 1.0 mM CaCl2, n-C60 effluent breakthrough curves gradually increased to a maximum value and then decreased sharply upon re-introduction of n-C60-free solution. Retention of n-C60 in the glass bead columns ranged from 8 to 49% of the introduced mass, while up to 77% of the injected mass was retained in Ottawa sand columns. This retention behavior was consistent with the delayed breakthrough observed in the Ottawa sand columns and was corroborated by batch retention data.
In the absence of background electrolyte, effluent n-C60 concentrations coincided with those of a non-reactive tracer (Br-), demonstrating the important role that electrostatic interactions play in n-C60 transport.
Effluent concentration and retention profile data were accurately simulated using a numerical model that incorporated a retention term to account for n-C60 attachment kinetics and a limiting retention capacity.

Nano@Tech Meeting
Peter Kottke, a research engineer in the School of Mechanical Engineering here at Georgia Tech, gave a presentation entitled "Scanning Mass Spectrometry (SMS) Probe."
Abstract:
He described the SMS probe, a tool currently under development for mass spectrometric imaging of live biological samples in vitro. In order to obtain spatially resolved images of chemical species distributions in vitro, an ion source is needed that samples from a small volume of liquid. The SMS probe is based on a novel approach to electrospray ionization (reverse-Taylor-cone electrospray), which requires a reversal of orientation of conventional electrospray ionization (ESI) sampling. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has the advantage of providing a means for transferring large biological molecules directly from solution into the gas phase under atmospheric pressure. The unique advantages of the reverse-Taylor-cone ionization concept are the minimum and highly localized (in space) sample volume (i.e., high resolution) that is being probed and, most importantly, its unique suitability for use in scanning probe chemical imaging applications, including imaging biological samples under physiological conditions (i.e., in aqueous solution).

Clint Wimbish, an Associate at Kilpatrick Stockton, LLP gave a presentation entitled "Technology Transfer and Aspects of Patentability - Commercializing Nanotechnology."
Abstract:
Technology transfer is the critical process of capturing discoveries and innovations in the laboratory and turning such discoveries and innovations into useful applications for the benefit of society. In this seminar, the technology transfer process was discussed in relation to the field of nanotechnology. In addition to the technology transfer process, various aspects of patentability were discussed with a focus on nanotechnology. Practical tips for protecting inventions in view of United States and international patent laws were also covered.

Nano@Tech Meeting
Prof. Ali Adibi, an associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering here at Georgia Tech, gave a presentation entitled "Novel Silicon Nanophotonic Structures for Ultra-compact Integrated Lab-on-a-chip Sensing."
Abstract:
The development of ultra-compact and sensitive sensing structures with minimal sample requirement for accurate sensing have been of great recent interest for multiple applications including bio and environmental sensing, chemical agent detection, and bio- threat detection. With recent advancement in the development of design and fabrication tools for photonic nanostructures, integrated photonic platforms are a strong candidate for the development of such sensing structures.
In this talk, Prof. Ali Adibi first presented the requirements for the development of photonic lab-on-a-chip sensing structures. Then he explained how these requirements are met by two recent developments in our group in the area of silicon photonics, i.e., ultra-high Q micro-resonators, and ultra-compact photonic crystal on-chip spectrometers with orders of magnitude smaller size compared to the other implementations with the same performance. These spectrometers are enabled by dispersion engineering in photonic crystal to simultaneously achieve the superprism effect, negative diffraction, and negative refraction. Details of the design of such structures along with their experimental demonstrations will be presented.

Nano@Tech Meeting
Prof. Carson Meredith, an associate professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering here at Georgia Tech, gave a presentation entitled "High-Throughput Screening of Advanced Polymeric Materials."
Abstract:
In this talk Professor Meredith reviewed recent advances in the high-throughput screening of polymers for advanced materials. Two applications were reviewed: proton exchange membranes (PEM) and biomaterials for cell adhesion and growth. After decades of research the essential requirements of successful PEMs are understood reasonably well. But still, even with design information available, there are millions of potential candidate materials: more than can be reasonably evaluated experimentally. A new approach for searching this space of materials more efficiently would lead to PEMs with significantly better performance-to-price characteristics. This talk reviewed a combinatorial screening system that integrates synthesis of sample libraries based on composition gradients, high-throughput screening of conductivity, mechanical properties, and transport properties. A significant challenge encountered in high-throughput research and development of organic and polymeric materials is the reproducible preparation of combinatorial libraries with programmed variations in composition. A number of examples of discrete and gradient library preparation techniques have been presented in the literature, which were reviewed in this talk.
The application of these novel techniques to polymeric biomaterials was also covered. The HTS protocol has been utilized to discover microphase-separated patterns that enhance cell attachment and proliferation for osteoblasts (bone). Informatics processing and models that enable optimization of large materials data sets was also discussed in reference to biomaterials screening.

Nano@Tech Meeting
Dr. Christine Kranz, a senior research scientist in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry here at Georgia Tech, gave a presentation entitled "Introduction to Focused Ion Beam Technology and its Application."
Abstract:
Within the last decade Focused Ion Beam technology has developed from a routine semiconductor tool into a versatile research instrument for characterization and prototyping. A major step towards the convergence of nanotechnology and nanoscience is the development and utilization of technologies, which allow precise patterning and assembly of features at a nanoscale. Dual beam FIB/SEM technology provides unsurpassed control and resolution during milling, deposition, and characterization at the nanoscale, thereby enabling high-resolution 3-D prototyping, machining, and structuring crucial to the development of next-generation functional nanodevices. An unambiguous advantage of FIB technology is the possibility for maskless milling and deposition processes. Application of FIB technology includes failure analysis, circuit repair and mask repair in microelectronics and TEM sample preparation. Recently, FIB has been also used in fabrication of scanning probe tips, optical devices and sensor technology. Nanostructuring using focused ion beams is governed by different parameters given by the beam profile, by the angle of incidence, by ion species, ion dose, and energy, and by the structural and chemical change of the sample by ion implantation.
Within this presentation an overview of this technology along with novel applications but also limitations were presented.

Nano@Tech Meeting
Prof. Sankar Nair, a professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering here at Georgia Tech, gave a presentation entitled "Nanoscopic Metal Oxide Objects via Controlled Creation and Rearrangement of Amorphous Nanoparticles."
Abstract:
Metal oxide materials offer a vast range of tunable physical and chemical properties, accessible by low-temperature liquid-phase chemistry. In the form of nanoscopic objects, these materials have a variety of potential applications in future nanoscale devices and nanostructured assemblies. Our research over the last 3 years at Georgia Tech has addressed several fundamental questions pertaining to the synthesis of metal oxide nano-objects with complex structure and controllable dimensions. The ultimate objective is to develop a generalizable set of "design rules" to engineer the "shape and size", "curvature", chemical composition, and ordered internal structure of ultra-small nanoscopic objects. In this talk, he described insights into the kinetic and thermodynamic principles underlying the formation of complex nano-objects such as single-walled metal oxide nanotubes whose lengths can be tuned from ultra-short (20 nm) to about 100 nm and whose diameters can be tuned with Angstrom-level precision through manipulation of interatomic potential energies. A proposal is made for a mechanistic paradigm that we refer to as "amorphous nanoparticle condensation followed by internal rearrangement", and some of its broader technological implications were discussed.

Nano@Tech Information Seminar: Phase O: Nanotechnology Research Center
The 190,000 sq. ft. Marcus Nanotechnology Building (MNB) under construction on the corner of Atlantic Drive and Ferst Drive will be part of the Georgia Tech Nanotechnology Research Center (NRC). When the MNB
opens in the fall of 2008, it will be the premier nanotechnology research facility in the Southeastern US, unsurpassed nationally. The MNB is new growth to the facilities already available to GT investigators in the Microelectronics Research Center (MiRC), so in essence, the Nanotechnology Research Center is already in place and ready to serve the research needs of the entire GT researcher community. During the seminar Bob Rose (Assitant Director of Operations at the MiRC) gave a presentation regarding the current status of the phase O construction and the projected opening of the building. Gary Spinner, who is in charge of the MiRC cleanroom, talked about the current processes and toolsets available to meet the needs of users who use the MiRC cleanroom. After the formal presentations and a question and answer session there were three breakout sessions: Gary Spinner gave a tour of the cleanroom, Joel Pikarsky gave a demonstration of tools (including the SEM), and Bob Rose was available to give more information on the new Bio Nano Cleanroom that will be in the MNB.

Nano@Tech Meeting
Dr. Alexei Marchenkov, a professor in the School of Physics here at Georgia Tech, gave a presentation entitled "Properties and Technical Applications in Superconducting Nanowire Devices."
Abstract:
The generation of high-frequency current oscillations when a constant voltage is applied across an insulating tunnel gap separating two superconductors was one of the fundamental theoretical predictions made by Brian Josephson, which earned him a share of the 1973 Nobel Prize in physics. This discovery provided the foundation for the most sensitive detectors of electromagnetic radiation and magnetic fields, as well as superconducting quantum computing bits. These technologies have numerous practical applications in various fields, including geology, biomedical diagnostics, and nanoscale characterization. In a synergetic study, which involved both measurements and first-principles simulations, we discovered that the Josephson current oscillations can excite atomic-scale mechanical resonances in metallic nanowires [1,2]. These resonances were observed in the technologically rich, but relatively unexplored, terahertz portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (“terahertz gap”). I will outline how chemically functionalized superconducting nanowires can be used in innovative sensing technologies that hold enormous potential in the chemical and biological material identification and characterization fields.

The major focus of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network’s Education Program in 2006 aimed at technology workforce development, and the Education and Outreach Office at Georgia Tech’s Microelectronics Research Center launched a rigorous schedule of seminars and K-12 tours. Now summer camps are underway and all these efforts have proven valuable to hundreds of scientists, graduate and undergraduate students, teachers, and elementary through high school students who have participated so far this year.
This success is due to the growing commitment of a dedicated group of cross-disciplined Georgia Tech engineers and researcher members of Nano @ Tech, a networking group that meets for monthly seminars and have generously volunteered their knowledge, research topics, given tours of labs and the MiRC cleanroom, as well as motivation about NanoCareers and the exciting potential they offer to young people today. Below is a recap of the Nano @ Tech seminars so far this year:
The Nano@Tech volunteer group meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in room 102 of the MIRC building starting at noon. Our featured speakers come from all the disciplines that are involved in nanotechnology research and the seminars represent an excellent opportunity for cross-pollination in the growing field of nanotechnology research.

Nano@Tech News
Update Bimonthly News Bulletin of Nano@Tech Networking Group
Nov 29, 2005:
Dear NanoVolunteers:
Nano@Tech continues to grow in membership and meet its commitment of reaching out to schools and communities to create awareness and promote nanotechnology. We are happy to report we have a membership of 104 of which are nano-partners who are willing to visit and speak to K-12 students about nanotechnology and educational and careers opportunities. In this update, you will learn about outreach efforts of our nano-partners. In his recent message to the "ChBE News", the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Chair, Ronald Rousseau, stressed the need for preparing young minds towards creativity and innovation to address various issues like energy, water, food, and other environment the world faces today. To prepare these young minds, community outreach must be a vital part of our mission as engineers and scientists. We are in need of more nano-partners and the time commitment is not large and should be at the most only few hours each semester. If you would like to volunteer for this activity please send your e-mail to Paul Turgeon at paul.turgeon@mirc.gatech.edu and let him know.
We thank Professor Mark Prausnitz and his research associates, Dr. Jun Park and Robyn Schlicher for their interesting talk on "Nanotechnology: methods of drug delivery using ultrasound & microneedles" on October 11, 2005. We also thank Professor Peter Hesketh for his exciting presentation on "Microfabricated electromechanical valves for miniature fluidic systems - nanowire allignment & miniature gas chromatographs" on November 8, 2005. Both lectures were well attended and received by our NanoVolunteers.
Herein is an update of Nano@Tech activities that have occurred during the past two months. On September 23rd, Devin Brown, Senior Research Engineer at Georgia Tech's Microelectronic Research Center visited Brumby Elementary School in Cobb County. He gave a presentation to 7 different classes at Brumby spanning grades Pre-K to 5th. He talked to students about how the world around them is shaped by technology developed by engineers and scientists. Devin explained how advances in technology are improving electronics such as television, stereo equipment, and video games, something near and dear to their hearts. He also talked about how technology and software are improving things such as special effects in movies like Spiderman and Harry Potter. Devin gave a demonstration on the concepts of diffusion and vortex. Silicon wafers from the MiRC cleanroom with various patterns on them were shared and he explained the fact that silicon is essentially sand, and so in a sense, the microchips in our computers are made out of sand. The students found this hard to believe. After that, he donned a cleanroom suit and had a student volunteer also put on a cleanroom suit. The students found it funny to see one of their classmates in a cleanroom outfit. He then demonstrated a recent advance in nanotechnology which allows a special coating to be applied to fabric to make it stain resistant. He demonstrated the technology by pouring colored water onto a men's white dress shirt. The students were impressed when the water mostly rolled right of and remaining droplets wiped up while leaving the shirt spotless.
On September 30, 2005, Diana Palma and Kristin Turgeon of MiRC visited Brown's Mill Elementary School in Lithonia for a Career Day experience. They spoke to 68 5th grade gifted students to introduce the "World of Nanotechnology". Each student was given a kit with a nanoruler and several very small items to measure. The students were challenged to think of the smallest possible thing that can be measured and how they would "say" the sizes measured. They arranged placards of different sized numbers and photos of microscopic objects at varying sizes. The students from smallest to largest on a clothesline with clothespins to enhance the visual effect. Our smallest number was 10-9 (1 nanometer), and the smallest object picture shown was the VV2 virus, which is about 500 nm. in diameter. Diana and Kristin also discussed the exciting careers of the future related to medicine and technology at this scale. They encouraged each student to think of a way they could help mankind in the future by working in this exciting new field of science. Their ideas will be presented when they come to visit our cleanroom in the next few months.
On November 18, 2005, 45 high school students from around the country visited Georgia Tech-Microelectronics Research Center. They were attending the annual meeting of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools for Mathematics, Science, and Technology (MCSSMST) Dr. Kevin Martin gave an excellent introductory talk about the Nanotechnology and its applications in different fields including microelectronics and bio-engineering. The students were divided into three groups. Dr. Raghunath Murali gave an instructional cleanroom tour and explained the different tools in the cleanroom and the need for cleanroom in the microelectronic processing. Dr. Paul Joseph guided the students to the "Microfuel Cells" Laboratory at the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and explained the concept and functioning of the microfuel cells. Deepak Sekar and Prashant Jain both PhD candidates at ECE and Chemistry departments, respectively, conducted some NanoSense Experiments to explain the importance of small particle sizes in the Nanotechnology arena. A couple of tablets of a material which caused a popping sound when reacted with water were given to the students. The students observed that when the tablet was powdered, the reaction with water was faster. While conducting this experiment was fun for the students because of the popping sounds, it also gave them a chance to learn that nanotechnology involves the use of small particles which could have properties that may not exist in larger substances. For example, in this case the powdered tablet reacted faster with water than the unpowdered one. The high school students also interacted with PhD candidates who told them interesting things about their work and encouraged them to go to graduate school. Diana Palma, NNIN Assistant Education coordinator helped in overall coordination of these activities that day.
Please note the upcoming Nano@Tech Noon meeting in December. Professor Andrew Lyon of School of Chemistry & Biochemistry will speak on December 13 on "Bioresponsive Materials from Microgels and Nanogels". Mark your calendar and plan to participate in this meeting.
If you would like to be member to receive information related to Nano@Tech events please send an e-mail to: Diana Palma at diana.palma@mirc.gatech.edu or Dr. Paul Joseph at pj40@mail.gatech.edu.
