Amphiphilic co-polymer lipid particle has a core comprising a chlorophyll pigment-protein complex or a bacteriochlorophyll pigment-protein complex within an annulus of membrane lipids, and an outermost layer of amphiphilic co-polymer surrounding an outermost surface of the membrane lipids. Such lipid particles are made by isolating photosynthetic membrane to form isolated photosynthetic membrane, adjusting the chlorophyll concentration of the isolated photosynthetic membrane, and solubilizing the isolated photosynthetic membranes in an amphiphilic co-polymer for a preselected time period that allows amphiphilic co-polymer lipid particles to form. The amphiphilic co-polymer lipid particles form a layer between a cathode and an anode in a photo-electrical energy generating device, and methods of making the same, including a layer of detergent micelles encapsulating lipid proteins rather than amphiphilic co-polymer lipid particles.

A memristive/memcapacitive device with vertex double-helical polarized biomimetic protein nanotubules forming double membranes with potential gradient mimicking mitochondria's inner double membrane was invented. The memristive/memcapacitive device comprises a cross-linked conductive organic polymer having a single-wall cross-bar polarized nanotube self-assembling membrane (SAM) on a gold chip with a minimum 5 nm space between the nanotubes. Under an applied potential, a pair of vertex double-helical circular current flow induced the Fermi arcs states promoting a direct chelating with zinc ions of the Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP-2), that made a dual-functioning direct ultrasensitive detection of protein in an attomolar concentration possible without a procedure of cycteine switch under label-free, probe-free and reagent-free conditions. The energy harvesting feature is also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides a bio-field effect transistor (BioFET) and a method of fabricating a BioFET device. The method includes forming a BioFET using one or more process steps compatible with or typical to a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. The BioFET device may include a substrate; a gate structure disposed on a first surface of the substrate and an interface layer formed on the second surface of the substrate. The interface layer may allow for a receptor to be placed on the interface layer to detect the presence of a biomolecule or bio-entity.

A nanostructured cross-wire memory architecture is provided that can interface with conventional semiconductor technologies and be electrically accessed and read. The architecture links lower and upper sets of generally parallel nanowires oriented crosswise, with a memory element that has a characteristic conductance. Each nanowire end is attached to an electrode. Conductance of the linkages in the gap between the wires encodes the information. The nanowires may be highly-conductive, self-assembled, nucleic acid-based nanowires enhanced with dopants including metal ions, carbon, metal nanoparticles and intercalators. Conductance of the memory elements can be controlled by sequence, length, conformation, doping, and number of pathways between nanowires. A diode can also be connected in series with each of the memory elements. Linkers may also be redox or electroactive switching molecules or nanoparticles where the charge state changes the resistance of the memory element.
