DNA Implementation of Fuzzy Inference Engine: Towards DNA Decision-Making Systems.

IEEE transactions on nanobioscience
Decision-making systems are an integral part of any autonomous device. With the recent developments in bio-nanorobots, smart drugs, and engineered viruses, there is an immediate need of decision-making systems which are bio-compatible in nature. DNA ...

Droplets As Liquid Robots.

Artificial life
Liquid droplets are very simple objects present in our everyday life. They are extremely important for many natural phenomena as well as for a broad variety of industrial processes. The conventional research areas in which the droplets are studied in...

Prediction of thermal conductivity of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) electrospun nanocomposite fibers using artificial neural network and prey-predator algorithm.

PloS one
In this study, multilayer perception neural network (MLPNN) was employed to predict thermal conductivity of PVP electrospun nanocomposite fibers with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Nickel Zinc ferrites [(Ni0.6Zn0.4) Fe2O4]. This is the sec...

Investigating the antifungal activity and mechanism of a microbial pesticide Shenqinmycin against Phoma sp.

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
Tea white scab (TWS) is a major disease affecting tea trees in mid-elevation regions and often occurs during rainy seasons with low temperatures. This disease is caused by the fungal pathogen Phoma sp. TWS can infect young stems, tender leaves, and t...

A neural controller for online laser power adjustment during the heat therapy process in the presence of nanoparticles.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
The present research evaluated the efficiency of a control approach to control the temperature of a breast tumor mass in the presence of nanoparticles exposed to laser radiation. However, if the radiation is carried out in open loop manner it may res...

Toward a systematic exploration of nano-bio interactions.

Toxicology and applied pharmacology
Many studies of nanomaterials make non-systematic alterations of nanoparticle physicochemical properties. Given the immense size of the property space for nanomaterials, such approaches are not very useful in elucidating fundamental relationships bet...

Thin polymeric films for building biohybrid microrobots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper aims to describe the disruptive potential that polymeric thin films have in the field of biohybrid devices and to review the recent efforts in this area. Thin (thickness  <  1 mm) and ultra-thin (thickness  <  1 µm) matrices possess a seri...

Computational Sensing Using Low-Cost and Mobile Plasmonic Readers Designed by Machine Learning.

ACS nano
Plasmonic sensors have been used for a wide range of biological and chemical sensing applications. Emerging nanofabrication techniques have enabled these sensors to be cost-effectively mass manufactured onto various types of substrates. To accompany ...

Graphene oxide and carboxylated graphene oxide: Viable two-dimensional nanolabels for lateral flow immunoassays.

Talanta
Graphene oxide (GO) and carboxylated GO were used as labels for lateral flow immunoassays, instead of the conventionally used colloidal gold and colored latex labels. A sensor is demonstrated that enables fast screening for aflatoxin B (AFB) as a mod...

Development of amino functionalized carbon coated magnetic nanoparticles and their application to electrochemical detection of hybridization of nucleic acids.

Talanta
In our study, the development of amino functionalized carbon coated magnetic nanoparticles (NH-CC-MNPs) and their usage for electrochemical detection of hybridization of nucleic acids have been aimed. Firstly, NH-CC-MNPs were prepared by coating of p...
