Implantable Antennas

Invention SummaryThe proposed technology seeks to fundamentally change the design of implantable antennas by tattooing (nearly invisible) conductive nanoparticles in the skin and adjacent fat layer at the body surface. This will allow the antenna to use as much surface area as needed, and dramatically reduce the transmission lost in the body tissues....

Controlled Nanotube Formation from Bacterial Flagella

Invention Summary: Bacterial mutants have been isolated that produce flagella (a protein nanotube) varying in length from 22 nanometers to 1 micrometer with varied diameters. The length and diameter of these protein nanotubes are precisely controlled using patented and proprietary production methods. Additionally, the surface amino acids may be modified...

Gold-Nanoparticle Hydrogels for Bioprinting Applicaiton

Invention Description: This gold nanoparticle and hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel combines the properties required for successful use in bioprinting tissue engineering. The crosslinking strategy of this hydrogel allows extrusion through a needle tip, while retaining the mechanical properties necessary for the weight-bearing associated with layer-by-layer...

pH Sensitive Nanoreactors with Dual Wavelength Emission

Invention Description: This technology includes development of nanoreactors that allow the use of single and dual wavelength pH sensitive dyes for intracellular pH measurement. Nanoshells were designed and developed to considerably improve the dyes resistance to photobleaching as well as prevents undesirable interaction with the biological and chemical...
