It is clear that DNA can be used as a storage medium, each nucleotide carrying two information bits, which can store vast amounts of data for very long periods of time and with high reliability; as overtime, humans remain human just as cats remain cats. However, it is also clear that it is a very […] Read More >
We present a method for the generation of THz pulses with tailored temporal shape from nonlinear metasurfaces. The method is based on single-cycle THz emission by the metasurface inclusions. We show that the spatial amplitude and phase structure of the nonlinear response is mapped to the temporal shape of pulses emitted at certain angles. We […] Read More >
The piezoelectric effect, the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy can serve as the basictechnology for many applications such as energy harvesting sensing and actuating. Currently, the fieldof piezoelectric materials is dominate by lead-based ceramic materials such as lead zirconate titanate(PZT).

FABRICATION OF ELECTRODES WITH ULTRA-SHORT CHANNEL LENGTH
Nanofabrication represents one of the most important features of modern electronics, optoelectronics, photonics and information technologies. However, the ability to fabricate nanoscale (sub-20 nm) devices, requires the introduction of unconventional techniques for material patterning, which is cumbersome, expensive, time consuming, typically available mainly to big industrial companies or to specific research centers, hence, not reachable […] Read More >
Stable enzyme-responsive nanocarriers with a-two step activation mechanism
The Challenge: Polymeric nanocarriers that can release their covalently attached or encapsulated cargo in response to specific stimuli can offer many advantages such as greater selectivity and consequently reduced side-effects. Among the different types of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, enzyme-responsive delivery systems can act as a Trojan horse and release their active payload in response to specific […] Read More >

Metal alloy nano-foams as Catalysts for Methane Dry Reforming during GTL
Today, about 90% of catalysts for GTL technology take the form of supported nanocatalysts. In these materials, metallic nanocrystals (the active catalytic phase) are dispersed about a highly porous ceramic oxide (inactive). These materials are advantageous because they provide exceptionally large surface areas for processing large amounts of gas, however, they all suffer from a […] Read More >
Harnessing Inhibitory RNA Based- Nanoparticles for Therapeutic Intervention in Blood Cancers
The current treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) included standard chemotherapy and small molecules such as the proteasome inhibitor and the immunomodulatory drugs. Although these drugs have improved the response and survival of MM patients, MM is still an incurable disease. Drug resistance and disease refractoriness are the common terminal pathways leading to patients’ mortality. Therefore, […] Read More >
