The -activated current ensures robust and reliable signal amplification in vertebrate olfactory receptor neurons
Johannes Reisert, Jürgen Reingruber
Activation of most primary sensory neurons results in transduction currents that are carried by cations. One notable exception is the vertebrate olfactory receptor neuron (ORN), wh…
A competitive binding model predicts nonlinear responses of olfactory receptors to complex mixtures
Vijay Singh, Nicolle R. Murphy, Vijay Balasubramanian +1
In color vision, the quantitative rules for mixing lights to make a target color are well understood. By contrast, the rules for mixing odorants to make a target odor remain elusiv…
Differentiation of Complex Vapor Mixtures Using Versatile DNA-Carbon Nanotube Chemical Sensor Arrays
Nicholas J. Kybert, Mitchell B. Lerner, Jeremy S. Yodh +2
Vapor sensors based on functionalized carbon nanotubes (NTs) have shown great promise, with high sensitivity conferred by the reduced dimensionality and exceptional electronic prop…
DNA-decorated carbon nanotubes for chemical sensing
Cristian Staii, Michelle Chen, Alan Gelperin +1
We demonstrate a new, versatile class of nanoscale chemical sensors based on single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) as the chemical sensors recognition site and single-walled carbon nanotube…
Pneumatic capillary gun for ballistic delivery of microparticles
Dmitry Rinberg, Claire Simonnet, Alex Groisman
A pneumatic gun for ballistic delivery of microparticles to soft targets is proposed and demonstrated. The particles are accelerated by a high speed flow of Helium in a capillary t…
