Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Molecular and Cellular Computational Tools Supporting Fundamental Neuroscience Research in Health, Mental Illness and Developmental Processes

Overview:

This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) encourages computational approaches in fundamental neuroscience research investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive the structure and function of cells and circuits supporting cognitive, affective, and social domains, in both health and mental illness, during early development and across the lifespan.

Background

The investigation of molecular and cellular mechanisms in complex neural systems had been challenging, partly due to technical limitations in acquiring data with high spatiotemporal resolution.  However, recent technological developments bring the promise of accelerated scientific discovery. New molecular manipulation and imaging technologies have been developed that yield large datasets with high cellular, spatial, and temporal precision. These techniques are being employed to investigate how various molecular and cellular processes

A new technique for creating simple electronic device components proved effective in recent tests. The results show that self-assembly for more complicated electronics, like 3D computer chips, could be possible. 

The findings are published in Materials Horizons and supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation Center for Complex Particle Systems. The technique exhibits a relatively “passive” creation process compared to current industry methods, eliminating the need for high-cost robotic or manual labor.  

The method explores arrays of transistors and diodes for now but could be used to fabricate more complex structures, such as 3D chips, in the future. 

Martin Thuo is a professor of materials science and engineering at North Carolina State University and an author of the study. Says Thuo, “Existing chip manufacturing techniques involve many steps and rely on extremely complex technologies, making the process costly and time-consuming. Our self-assembling approach is significantly faster and less expensive.”

These microscopic objects were self-assembled using the new technique which the researchers refer to as a directed metal-ligand reaction or D-Met. So far, the technique can be used to create diodes, transistors and other simple electronic components.

“What’s more, current manufacturing techniques have low yield, meaning they produce a relatively large number of faulty chips that can’t be used,” adds Thuo. “Our approach
