Alexander Mo has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10864270
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for fabricating and implementing nanoscale and microscale structured carriers to provide guided, targeted, and on-demand delivery of molecules and biochemical substances for a variety of applications including diagnosis and/or treatment (theranostics) of diseases in humans and animals. In some aspects, a nanostructure carrier can be synthesized in the form of a nanobowl, which may include an actuatable capping particle that can be opened (and in some implementations, closed) on demand. In some aspects, a nanostructure carrier can be synthesized in the form of a hollow porous nanoparticle with a functionalized interior and/or exterior to attach payload substances and substances for magnetically guided delivery and controlled release of substance payloads.

  • Patent number: 10793898
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and nano-sensor devices are disclosed for detecting or discriminating nucleic acids with a single nucleotide resolution based on nucleic acid strand displacement. The detection can be made by time-lapse fluorescence measurements or by electro-based graphene FET, which can be combined with wireless communication to provide real-time transmission of the detected signals.

  • Publication number: 20190010544
    Abstract: Techniques, structures, devices and systems are disclosed for implementing molecular zipper tweezers and springs. In one aspect, a molecular device includes three molecular components including at least a passive side molecular component, a binding side molecular component and a target molecular component adapted to interact together as a zipper that separate two of the molecular components held together by molecular interaction forces.
