Featured Author
Prof. Victor M. Castano (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) -
National Autonomous University of Mexico) is an international leader in several
areas of applied science and has made important contributions, both in academia
and in technological developments. Prof. Castano has published over 550 articles
in peer-reviewed international journals, 18 book chapters and 5 books, in
addition to editing 6 books. His work has received thousands of citations,
particularly in recent times, when some of his pioneering contributions have
begun to have a major impact and have led him to receive international awards,
while maintaining active collaborations in the United States, Canada and Europe. |
|
|
|
The area where Prof. Castano is best known is Materials Science, since he has
invented a very extensive list of new materials, from dental implants from
starfish and various other biomaterials (one of his articles is on the list of
10 most influential works of the field in the last 20 years), to new “smart”
materials. Prof. Castano was one of the pioneers in the use of carbon nanotubes
for reinforcing materials and his works on nanofunctionalization are among the
most cited in the literature. His work in nanotechnology reflects its spirit of
innovation because, in addition to publishing articles and book chapters that
are now considered classics in the field of technological applications of
nanostructures, has made several of his technologies already commercially
exploited, as in the case of anti-graffiti paint and body armor, which, besides
being the object of special programs in Discovery Channel and National
Geographic, have been included in the select list of the most important
practical contributions of nanotechnology that the French government has chosen
for a traveling exhibit ("Nanotechnologie").
We are pleased to have him in the editorial board of our Journal of Nanoscience
Letters.

This paper presents a novel design of an electron accelerator on-chip that can be used to trap and control electron within a small scale device known as a PANDA microring resonator, in which the trapped electron can be accelerated and moved faster to the final destination and eventually, the solar cell efficiency can be improved. New results of this paper are important for solar cell works.

CuO thin film deposited onto ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) coated glass substrates by Reactive Pulsed Laser Deposition (RPLD) technique has been utilized in order to realize a uric acid biosensor. The results confirm promising application of the p-type CuO thin film matrix for development of uric acid biosensor.

The authors have developed a conductive sensor incorporating single-walled carbon nanotubes coated with molecularly imprinted poly(vinylpyrrolidone) films and report on its characteristics for cotinine detection via changes in resistance. They find significant increases in the resistance of these imprinted films in comparison to control films involving coating with unimprinted polymer. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-coated carbon nanotubes offer the possibility of a simple, general technique for the creation of molecule-specific sensing elements.

Our results indicate the formation of distinctly separate high aspect ratio Ag nanorods, which was in contrast to the collapsed and low aspect ratio structures when grown at room temperature. These results also indicate the potential to allow the growth of high aspect ratio columnar structures from other soft metals such as Au, Cu and Al.

With a heavy heart we would like to report that Prof. Robin M. Hochstrasser,
Donner Professor of Physical Sciences, Physical Chemistry, University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, is no more.
Professor Hochstrasser passed away on February 27, 2013 at the age of 82. He was
a dedicated scientist and educator who was one of the distinctive figures in the
area of ultrafast dynamics. Many of the present day researchers in the field of
ultrafast spectroscopy has been trained either by him directly or by one of his
students or associates. Professor Ahmed Zewail, who received the 1999 Chemistry
Nobel Prize “for showing that it is possible with rapid laser technique to see
how atoms in a molecule move during a chemical reaction”, was also a graduate
student of Prof. Hochstrasser.

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Prof. Hochstrasser was born and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland. He received his
PhD in 1955 from the University of Edinburg. His independent research career
started as a junior faculty member of the University of British Columbia,
Canada. Subsequently after a brief stint in National Research Council of Canada,
he joined the University of Pennsylvania in 1963 to begin research on ultrahigh
magnetic and electric field effects on molecules. In 1968 he became the
Blanchard Professor of Chemistry and started his ultrafast laser research. Since
1983 he was conferred the Donner Professorship of Physical Sciences at the
University of Pennsylvania. He was also the Director of the ultrafast laser
research resource. Professor Hochstrasser was a member of the National Academy
of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and an Honorary Fellow of
the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His death is huge loss to the scientific
community.
