  • Publication number: 20240026334
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions comprising magnetoelectric composite materials and collagen, along with uses and kits thereof. Described herein is the use of DNA aptamer assemblies of varying DNA length, structure, and sequence to both bind to collagen and other proteins, to then act as a biocompatible, degradable, reversible, or permanent 3D crosslinkers between proteins, and to service as a biologically functional material when using the appropriate aptamer sequence. Therefore, disclosed herein are compositions comprising collagen fibers crosslinked with DNA aptamers. Also disclosed are devices and implants made from or coated with collagen fibers crosslinked with DNA aptamers. Also disclosed are methods of making collagen fibers. Also disclosed are kits for producing collagen fibers. Also disclosed herein are compositions DNA aptamers in a collagen fiber matrix that stabilizes the DNA aptamer.

  • Publication number: 20230369773
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure integrate magnetoelectric nanowire arrays within antenna assemblies to form ultra-compact antennas. An exemplary method comprises using a dielectrophoretic force to orient a magnetoelectric nanowire across an electrode gap separating a pair of electrodes; and transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves through a magnetoelectric effect of the magnetoelectric nanowire. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems are also presented.

  • Patent number: 11062826
    Abstract: Nanocomposite magnetic materials, methods of manufacturing nanocomposite magnetic materials, and magnetic devices and systems using these nanocomposite magnetic materials are described. A nanocomposite magnetic material can be formed using an electro-infiltration process where nanomaterials (synthesized with tailored size, shape, magnetic properties, and surface chemistries) are infiltrated by electroplated magnetic metals after consolidating the nanomaterials into porous microstructures on planar substrates. The nanomaterials may be considered the inclusion phase, and the magnetic metals may be considered the matrix phase of the multi-phase nanocomposite.

  • Patent number: 10892399
    Abstract: Embodiments of a magnetic field sensor of the present disclosure includes magnetoelectric nanowires suspended above a substrate across electrodes without substrate clamping. This results in enhanced magnetoelectric coupling by reducing substrate clamping when compared to layered thin-film architectures. Accordingly, the magnetoelectric nanowires of the magnetic field sensor generate a voltage response in the presence of a magnetic field.
