Abstract:
An electrochromic display is disclosed, in which an electrochromic material layer is disposed between a pair of plates each having an array of electrodes. The electrochromic material layer is composed of leuco dyes, supporting electrolyte and binder. The leuco dyes can be colored and discolored upon application of current thereto in a liquefied state of the material layer. Melting the material layer and application of current are carried out by the array of the electrodes.

Abstract:
A microscope measurement system including: an optical microscope including a microscope body and an objective connected to the microscope body; a chamber including a support mechanism holding an object to be examined therein, the chamber including an opening inserting the objective into the chamber such that the objective is located essentially within the chamber and the microscope body is located essentially outside of the chamber; a sealing mechanism that provides an essentially gas-tight connection between the optical microscope and the chamber such that the chamber is sealed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to tuned multifunctional linker molecules for charge transport through organic-inorganic composite structures. The problem underlying the present invention is to provide multifunctional linker molecules for tuning the conductivity in nanoparticle-linker assemblies which can be used in the formation of electronic networks and circuits and thin films of nanoparticles. The problem is solved according to the invention by providing a multifunctional linker molecule of the general structure CON1-FUNC1-X-FUNC2-CON2 in which X is the central body of the molecule, FUNC1 and FUNC2 independently of each other are molecular groups introducing a dipole moment and/or capable of forming inter-molecular and/or intramolecular hydrogen bonding networks, and CON1 and CON2 independently of each other are molecular groups binding to nanostructured units comprising metal and semiconductor materials.

Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved process for the direct and selective metallization of nucleic acids via metal nanoparticles produced in-situ in which a nucleic acid specific metal complex is reacted with a nucleic acid to produce a metal complex-nucleic acid conjugate, non-conjugated metal complex and/or non-conjugated by-products are removed, and the metal complex-nucleic acid conjugate is reacted with a reducing agent to produce a metal nanoparticle-nucleic acid composite. The metal nanoparticle-nucleic acid composites may be used, e. g., in the formation of nanowires, for electronic networks and circuits allowing a high density arrangement.
