摘要:
The present invention generally relates to nanowires and, in particular, to multiwell plates comprising nanowires, including systems and methods of making the same. Such multiwell plates can, in some cases, be used in automated equipment or high-throughput applications. For example, a plurality of cells may be placed in at least some of the wells of the multiwell plate, and one or more nanowires may be inserted into at least some of the cells within the wells of the multiwell plate. In some cases, one or more of the nanowires may have coated thereon a biological effector. The cells in each of the wells may be identical or different, and/or the biological effector may the same or different. Such multiwell plates may be used, for example, to test a biological effector against a variety of cell types, or to test a variety of biological effectors against a one or more cell types, or the like.

The present invention generally relates to nanowire arrays and methods of fabricating such arrays. In certain embodiments, the fabrication methods can consistently form NW arrays with reproducible configurations at nanoscale sites and produce NWs of specified heights, diameters, and densities. In some cases, the methods also allow formation of NW arrays containing barriers between regions, which would be prohibitively expensive if prepared by other methods.

A method of fabricating a visible spectrum optical component includes: providing a substrate; forming a resist layer over a surface of the substrate; patterning the resist layer to form a patterned resist layer defining openings exposing portions of the surface of the substrate; performing deposition to form a dielectric film over the patterned resist layer and over the exposed portions of the surface of the substrate, wherein a top surface of the dielectric film is above a top surface of the patterned resist layer; removing a top portion of the dielectric film to expose the top surface of the patterned resist layer and top surfaces of dielectric units within the openings of the patterned resist layer; and removing the patterned resist layer to retain the dielectric units over the substrate.

摘要:
An approach to nanoscale thermometry that utilizes coherent manipulation of the electronic spin associated with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond is disclosed. The methods and apparatus allow for detection of temperature variations down to milli-Kelvin resolution, at nanometer length scales. This biologically compatible approach to thermometry offers superior temperature sensitivity and reproducibility with a reduced measurement time. The disclosed apparatus can be used to study heat-generating intracellular processes.
