An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for a carbon nanotube templated battery electrode. The apparatus includes a substrate, and a plurality of catalyst areas extending upward from the substrate, the plurality of catalyst areas forming a patterned frame. The apparatus also includes a carbon nanotube forest grown on each of the plurality of catalyst areas and extending upward therefrom such that a shape of the patterned frame is maintained, and a coating attached to each carbon nanotube in the carbon nanotube forest, the coating formed of an electrochemically active material. The system includes the apparatus, and a particulate cathode material distributed evenly across the apparatus such that the particulate cathode material fills the passages, a current collector film formed on top of the particulate cathode material, and a porous spacer disposed between the apparatus and the cathode.

A permanent solid state memory device is disclosed. Recording data in the permanent solid state memory device forms voids in a data layer between a first wire array and a second wire array. Wires of the first wire array extend transversely to wires in the second wire array. The material is made of a carbon allotrope such that when current is passed through the carbon allotrope, the carbon is quickly oxidized (burned) leaving a complete gap (void) where the fuse once was. One of the advantages of this method is that the fuse material is fully oxidized in the particular “neck region of the bowtie”, such that there is no material left over from which dendrites can grow. In other embodiments, the data layer is a metal or metal oxide selected from the following metals: Tungsten (W), Rhenium (Rh), Osmium (Os), Iridium (Ir), Molybdenum (Mo), Ruthenium (Ru), Rhodium (Rh), Chromium (Cr), and Manganese (Mn).

An optical biological detector is able to bind specific targeted bacterial cells by stamping an antibody grating pattern onto a silicon surface. The antibody grating alone produces insignificant optical diffraction, but upon immunocapture of the targeted cells, the optical phase change produces a diffraction pattern. Micro-contact printing provides a method for placing the antibody grating pattern directly onto a substrate surface with no additional processes or binding chemicals. Antibodies or other biologically active material may be stamped directly onto clean native oxide silicon substrates with no other chemical surface treatments. Direct binding of the antibodies to the silicon occurs in a way that still allows them to function and selectively bind antigen. The performance of the sensor was evaluated by capturing O157:H7 cells on the antibody-stamped lines and measuring the intensity of the first order diffraction beam resulting from the attachment of cells. The diffraction intensity increases in proportion to the cell density bound on the surface.

A carbon nanotube assembly comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged into a patterned frame and extending from a base of the patterned frame to a face of the patterned frame, the patterned frame having a height of at least about 10 μm or greater. At least one passage extends through or is defined in the patterned frame, the at least one passage extending from the base of the patterned frame to the face of the patterned frame. An interstitial material at least partially fills interstices between at least some of the carbon nanotubes.

A permanent solid state memory device is disclosed. Recording data in the permanent solid state memory device forms voids in a data layer between a first wire array and a second wire array. Wires of the first wire array extend transversely to wires in the second wire array. The data layer is at least partially conductive such that a voltage applied between a selected first wire in the first wire array and a selected second wire in the second wire array creates a heating current through the data layer at a data point between the first wire and the second wire. The heating current causes a data layer material to melt and recede to form a permanent void. Control elements are operably connected to apply voltages to predetermined combinations of wires to form permanent voids at data points throughout the solid state memory device.
