The robust, sensitive, and selective detection of targeted biomolecules in their native
environment by prospective nanostructures holds much promise for real-time, accurate, and …

Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) is a nanofabrication technique that can be used to directly
write molecular patterns on substrates with high resolution and registration. Over the past …

The worldwide emergence of nanoscale science and engineering was marked by the
announcement of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) in January 2000. Recent …

The ability to tailor the chemical composition and structure of a surface on the 1–100 nm
length scale is important to researchers studying topics ranging from electronic conduction …

The development of surfaces that have switchable properties, also known as smart surfaces,
have been actively pursued in the past few years. The recent surge of interest in these …

The in‐situ synthesis of oligo (ethylene glycol)‐functionalized polymer brushes from a self‐
assembled monolayer of an alkanethiol on gold that presents a tethered initiator by surface …

Protein biochips are at the heart of many medical and bioanalytical applications. Increasing
interest has been focused on surface activation and subsequent functionalization strategies …

The chemistry and topography of a surface affect biological response and are of
fundamental importance, especially when living systems encounter synthetic surfaces. Most …

Chemical and topographic substrate surface patterning is recognized as a powerful tool for
regulating cell functions. We discuss the relative role of scale and pattern of chemically and …

We have developed a laser-based printing technique, called biological laser printing
