Alex Smolyanitsky

A water-immersed nucleobase-functionalized suspended atomically thin nanoribbon as an intrinsically selective device for ultra-fast and accurate nucleotide detection is proposed. The proposed device combines Watson-Crick selective base pairing with the ability of atomically thin membranes to flex

High Efficiency Photon Detection

NIST Inventors

Alex Smolyanitsky

A detection pixel includes a material that is chosen so that its (averaged) atomic number density leads to the Compton process being the dominant scattering mechanism in response to incident photons, leading to production of Compton electrons with sufficient number and kinetic energy to produce an
