Standards Development for Wireless Communications for Urban Search and Rescue Robots

February 26, 2007
Author(s)
Kate Remley, Galen H. Koepke, Elena R. Messina, Adam S. Jacoff, George Hough
To gather data in support of standards development for urban search and rescue robots, NIST is conducting a series of field tests to quantify the functionality and performance of various candidate robots. During these tests, manufacturers bring robots that

Length Dependent Uptake of DNA-Wrapped Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

January 1, 2007
Author(s)
Matthew Becker, Jeffrey Fagan, Nathan D. Gallant, Barry J. Bauer, Vardhan Bajpai, Erik K. Hobbie, Silvia H. De Paoli Lacerda, Kalman D. Migler, J P. Jakupciak
DNA-wrapped single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with broad length distributions are shown to reduce the viability of IMR90 primary human lung fibroblast cells above the (23 to 25) ug/mL concentration regime. Furthermore using well-defined length fractions
