Structural and analytical identifications of biomolecules by cold ion spectroscopy of non-covalent complexes

Erik Saparbayev

Non-covalent interactions are ubiquitous in nature. The diversity and functionality of these interactions are employed by nature as a universal tool for building the molecular mechanism of life. Although weak, these interactions play a key role in both for ...

Memristive Biosensors Under Varying Humidity Conditions

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici, Camilla Baj-Rossi, Francesca Puppo, Akshat Dave

We attempt to examine the potential of silicon nanowire memristors in the field of nanobiosensing. The mem- ristive devices are crystalline Silicon (Si) Nanowires (NWs) with Nickel Silicide (NiSi) terminals. The nanowires are fabricated on a Silicon-on-Ins ...
