(529a) Invited Talk: Resolving Carbon Nanotube Structures By DNA

Many fundamental studies and technology development rely on structurally well-defined CNTs as well as corresponding coating layers. DNA-CNT library has been used to select structurally well-defined hybrids using separation method. Existing selection methods have various drawbacks. In this talk, I will present our recent work in developing new spectroscopy and separation method to obtain DNA sequences that are capable of resolving different CNT structures. I will also present a multiplex sensing scheme we call “molecular perceptron”, which is based on an array of DNA-CNT hybrids to mimic human perception systems for biosensing applications.
