Improved metal complex chemical precursors for atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor depostion (CVD) using bicyclic guanidines
A new class of metal complex precursors has been identified for use in atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using bicycle guanidines as ligands as opposed to acetamidines. The ALD process involves the alternating…

Vertical silicon nanowires as a universal platform for highly efficient delivery of bioactive molecules into living cells
This platform consists of an array of surface-modified vertical silicon nanowires that have been chemically grown or etched on a wafer and to which virtually any kind of bioactive species (drug, protein, nucleic acid, nanoparticles) may be attached…

Paper-supported 3D cell culture for cell and tissue-based bioassays
In this new approach, cells are cultured in 3D on a paper scaffold by adding a hydrogel precursor, as a fluid containing suspended cells, to a paper support, allowing the cell-containing fluid to distribute through the paper by capillary wicking,…

Silicon-based photodiodes for enhanced infrared detection, quick response and low cost
The technology offered here is for the creation of an “impurity enhanced” silicon material with unique optelectric properties. The material is created by employing an ion-implantation technique using a nanosecond laser to melt the basis of single…

High-flux, low-power diamond nanowire single-photon source arrays: an enabling material for optical and quantum computing and cryptography
The novel approach taken by the Harvard researchers was to apply top-down nanofabrication techniques to define large arrays of vertically oriented nanowire antennas in a single-crystal diamond substrate. Briefly, structures were made from a…
