"Smart Dust," or Porous Silicon Photonic Crystals

技術應用

In addition to those mentioned above, the researchers are currently exploring other biological applications, such as controlled drug release, biomedical implants, artificial organs, and cell-based experimentation platforms.

詳細技術說明

UC San Diego researchers have developed a new nanotechnology, smart dust, that has state-of-the-art applications in almost every field of use, including biological sensing, screening, and communications technology. The invention utilizes micron-sized particles of silicon that have been etched and then chemically modified in such a way that each individual particle has its own addressable identity. This feature allows one to use thousands of the particles together, each with its own “tag,” for high-sensitivity chemical or biological sensing, diagnostics, and low- and high-throughput screening of biomolecular compounds.
