Assistant Professor
Dr. Brandon's research interests include scanning probe microscopy, energetic materials, and sensors. He is currently investigating nanoscale methods of imaging energetic materials using atomic force microscopy. In the area of bio-patterning, Dr. Brandon has studied the applications of dip-pen nanolithography as a tool for patterning surfaces with "soft" organic molecules. Currently, efforts are focused on the use of microcantilevers for the detection of pathogens, chemical and explosive agents for national security.

NanoScienceWorks.org looks at the dynamic area of nano-semoconductors, and how these tiny devices are fundamentally changing the worlds of computing and communications. We speak with the author of Nano-Semiconductor: Devices and Technology, Dr. Krzysztof Iniewski, who manages R&D developments at Redlen Technologies, Inc., a start-up firm in British Columbia, Canada. His research interests are in VLSI circuits for medical and security applications.
Researchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
A team of MIT researchers has found a way of precisely controlling the width and composition of nanowires as they grow, making it possible to grow complex structures designed for particular applications.
