Ferroelectric Nanolithography Extended to Flexible Substrates The ultimate goal is to assemble multiple components of diverse properties into complex configurations. Ferroelectric Nanolithography achieves this by controlling local electronic structure on substrates that influences electron transfer at the surface. Rankin, et al ACS Nano 2008

New mechanism for transduction of optical energy to electrical energy Optical antenna effect focuses light to the nanoparticle junction increasing absorption efficiency, enhancement can be factors of 105 or more. Absorption wavelengths/energies can be tuned by choice or design of the molecule and morphological control of nanoparticle array + Ghosh, S.K. and T. Pal,.

Whole Lotta Shakin’ We have exquisite information about the static structures of cellular components, but still little understanding of how they orchestrate their many dynamic functions. The understanding now beginning to emerge will influence cell biology over the coming years. Drosophila S2 cell with microtubules shown in red and peroxisomes in green. Recently developed imaging technology allows us to look inside living cells with unprecedented spatial and time resolution (nanometers and milliseconds). Extending this method to two colors allowed us to perceive previously hidden relations between cell components. For example, our work documented correlation between the motions of distant call cargos, indicating that they were both attached to the same active structural element (a microtubule).
