摘要:
Multicomponent nanorods having segments with differing electronic and/or chemical properties are disclosed. The nanorods can be tailored with high precision to create controlled gaps within the nanorods or to produce diodes or resistors, based upon the identities of the components making up the segments of the nanorods. Macrostructural composites of these nanorods also are disclosed.

The invention provides methods of detecting a nucleic acid. The methods comprise contacting the nucleic acid with one or more types of particles having oligonucleotides attached thereto. In one embodiment of the method, the oligonucleotides are attached to nanoparticles and have sequences complementary to portions of the sequence of the nucleic acid. A detectable change (preferably a color change) is brought about as a result of the hybridization of the oligonucleotides on the nanoparticles to the nucleic acid. The invention also provides compositions and kits comprising particles. The invention further provides methods of synthesizing unique nanoparticle-oligonucleotide conjugates, the conjugates produced by the methods, and methods of using the conjugates. In addition, the invention provides nanomaterials and nanostructures comprising nanoparticles and methods of nanofabrication utilizing nanoparticles. Finally, the invention provides a method of separating a selected nucleic acid from other nucleic acids.
摘要:
A method of nanolithography includes transporting a patterning compound from a nanoscopic tip to a substrate to form a pattern on the substrate. The patterning compound has a first electrostatic charge and the substrate has a second electrostatic charge which is opposite to the first electrostatic charge. The patterning compound can be an electrically conductive polymer having a charged polymer backbone. The patterns can be dots and lines having lateral dimensions of less than one micron. No electrical bias from an external voltage source between the tip and the substrate is needed.
