Electronics From the Bottom Up: a view of conductance

17 Aug 2007 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

Resistance is one of the first concepts an electrical engineer learns, but things get interesting at the nanoscale. Experimentalists have found that no matter how short the resistor is, its resistance cannot drop below a fundamental lower limit. They also found that resistance increases in...

Fine Tuning Microcantilever Vibrations for Ultrasensitive Analyte Mass Detection

27 Jul 2005 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Arvind Raman

Microcantilever based biochemical sensing has shown tremendous promise for ultrasenstive detection in both liquid and ambient conditions. However improving the sensitivity, reliability and robustness of these sensors so they can achieve their potential needs substantial efforts in (a) chemical...

Some Remarks to Electrodynamics of Materials with Negative Refraction

26 Jun 2007 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Victor G. Veselago

The negative refraction coefficient n < 0 can be introduced for isotropic materials with anti-parallel directions of phase and group velocities. If some of material can be described by negative n it will have also negative values of both (electrical ε and magnetic μ) permeabilities. In materials...
