We establish the concept of a plasmonic polymer, whose collective optical properties depend on repeat unit. Experimental and theoretical analyses super- sub- radiant plasmon response polymers comprising units single nanoparticles or dimers gold show that (1) redshift lowest energy coupled mode becomes minimal as chain approaches infinite limit at length ∼10 particles, (2) presence modes are sensitive to geometries constituents, is, unit, but (3) spatial disorder nanoparticle heterogeneity...
The ability to measure the levels of diagnostically relevant proteins, such as antibodies, directly at point care could significantly impact healthcare. Thus motivated, we explore here E-DNA "scaffold" sensing platform, a rapid, convenient, single-step means this end. These sensors comprise rigid nucleic acid attached via flexible linker an electrode and modified on its distal end with redox reporter protein binding "recognition element". targeted reduces efficiency which approaches...
Abstract The multiplexed, point-of-care measurement of specific antibodies could improve the speed with which diseases are diagnosed and their treatment initiated. To this end, we developing E-DNA scaffold sensors, consist a rigid, nucleic acid “scaffold” attached on one end to an electrode presenting both redox reporter epitope other. In absence antibody, efficiently transfers electrons when interrogated electrochemically. Binding-induced steric hindrance limits movement, reducing electron...
We explore the optimum growth space for a 47.0 Å InAs/21.5 Ga0.75In0.25Sb superlattices (SLs) designed maximum Auger suppression very long wavelength infrared gap. Our process produces consistent gap of 50 ± 5 meV. However, SL quality is sensitive to temperature (Tg). For SLs grown at 390−470 °C, photoresponse signal gradually increases as Tg from 400 440 °C. Outside this window, deteriorates rapidly. All were n-type with mobility ∼10 000 V/cm2 and 300 K recombination lifetime ∼70 ns an optimized SL.
The faster a disease is diagnosed, the sooner treatment can be initiated, motivating drive to replace standard laboratory techniques with point-of-care technology. Here we describe development of an E-DNA sensor for rapid measurement anti-syphilis antibodies.
Using DNA origami as the recognition element in an electrochemical biosensor enables selective and direct detection of “mesoscale” virus-sized analytes.
The authors report growth studies to develop an InAs/GaInSb superlattice (SL) material for very long wavelength infrared detection. They select a SL structure of 47.0 Å InAs/21.5 Ga0.75In0.25Sb that is designed the greatest possible detectivity, and tune conditions achieve best quality ternary material. Since grown layers particularly sensitive extrinsic defects such as nonradiative recombination centers generated during process, investigate effect temperature (Tg) on spectral photoresponse...
We demonstrate a successful navigation and docking control system for the John Deere Tango autonomous mower, using only single camera as input. This vision-only is of interest because it inexpensive, simple production, requires no external sensing. in contrast to existing systems that rely on integrated position sensors global positioning (GPS) technologies. To produce our we combined state-of-the-art object detection architecture, You Only Look Once (YOLO), with reinforcement learning (RL)...
