Diatom frustules represent one of the most complex examples of micro-and nano-structured
materials found in nature, being the result of a biomineralization process refined through …

We describe a pH responsive drug delivery system which was fabricated using a novel
approach to functionalize biodegradeable porous silicon (pSi) by initiated chemical vapor …

Optical waveguides comprised of nanoporous materials are uniquely suited for on-chip
sensing applications, because they allow for a target chemical or analyte to directly infiltrate …

A porous silicon (PSi) based microarray has been integrated with a microfluidic system, as a
proof of concept device for the optical monitoring of selective label-free DNA-DNA …

Although porous silicon (pSi) was first obtained in the mid-20th century, considerable
interest in this material arose much later, due to the discovery of its room-temperature …

Porous TiO2 thin-film waveguides with the gold clad were fabricated by colloidal deposition
for real-time detection of small molecule substances based on interrogating the guided …

A 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APES) fiber-optic sensor based on a Mach–Zehnder
interferometer (MZI) was demonstrated. The MZI was constructed with a core-offset fusion …
