Impact of Lateral SnO Nanofilm Channel Geometry on a 1024 Crossbar Chemical Sensor Array.

We propose a rational strategy to fabricate thermally robust, highly integrated molecular and gas sensors utilizing a lateral SnO nanofilm channel geometry on a 1024 crossbar sensor array. The proposed lateral channel geometry substantially suppresses the detrimental effects of parasitic interconnect wire resistances compared with those of a conventional vertical sandwich-type crossbar array because of its excellent resistance controllability. A conductive oxide top-contact electrode on the lateral SnO nanofilm channel enhances the thermal stability at temperatures of up to 500 °C in ambient air.

Construction of transgenic that exhibits new reddish leaf and flower colors due to introduction of β-carotene ketolase and hydroxylase genes.

, small white morning glory, is an ornamental plant belonging to the family Convolvulaceae, and cultivated worldwide. generates white petals including a pale-yellow colored star-shaped center (flower vein). Its fully opened flowers were known to accumulate trace amounts of carotenoids such as β-carotene.
