Functional Nucleic Acids for Analytical Applications

Product Description

Nature has long used nucleic acid aptamers and enzymes for regulatory activities, such as the recently discovered “riboswitches” involved in gene expression. The existence of a large array of natural and artificial functional nucleic acids has generated tremendous enthusiasm and new opportunities for molecular scientists from diverse disciplines to devise new concepts and real applications that take advantage of those nucleic acids for sensing and other analytical applications. This book provides a timely and comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field, from leading experts in biology, chemistry, and engineering. A variety of topics are covered, from fundamentals of functional nucleic acids, to their applications as sensors, to nanotechnologies; as well as integration of functional nucleic acids into practical analytical systems.

Quantum Semiconductor Devices and Technologies

Product Description
Quantum Effects in Semiconductor Materials and Devices provides a comprehensive overview of the fabrication and operation of nanoscale devices. It begins with a discussion of the critical issue of the relationship between the characteristic separation of energy levels relative to the temperature of operation and the issue of temperature rise due to energy dissipation. A presentation of the device structures that implement memory circuits and lasers with predictable properties is then given before the array of challenges to the current level of fabrication technologies. The following three chapters are devoted to a discussion of the self-organizational techniques that can be used to address these challenges. This is a unique text that not only reviews the current state of the art but also provides a view of the likely developments in this important and rapidly developing field. It is essential reading for all involved in quantum semiconductors.
