Abstract:
In the present invention, it has been discovered that Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a useful tool for imaging a surface on a nanometer scale and/or fabricating on a nano-sized scale by transferring a particle (e.g., protei n) from one location to another. This is accomplished by a method of transfe rring a material from a first location to a second location comprising the s teps of providing a stylus, applying a bias to the stylus, providing a surfa ce, and changing the bias of the stylus such that the material is transferre d from the first location to the second location.
Abstract:
A method of conducting an environmental assay including the steps of providing a substrate coated with a cured polymer micropattern, contacting the micropattern with an environmental sample, wherein the polymer micropattern is capable of retaining a target component; and determining the presence or absence of the target component in the micropattern. A device for collecting an environmental component in a liquid or wet sediments and soils, the device including a microscale diffusion pathway and a material in contact with the diffusion pathway and arranged to bind the component which is diffused along the pathway.
