SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/18/14 -- Skytap Inc., the leading provider of self-service application development environments in the cloud, today announced the general availability of Skytap SaaS-based dev/test environments built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Development and test teams at any enterprise can now use Skytap to rapidly build and test software in environments that mirror their AWS production environments. With this release, Skytap now supports native AWS and VMware workloads, providing customers with the highest level of flexibility for accelerating cloud adoption within the enterprise.
Today's enterprises are adopting technologies that enable their development and testing teams to overcome inefficiencies in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). They are levering these technologies to rapidly identify defects, innovate faster, and reduce time to market. For example, enterprises providing their teams with on-demand access to dev/test and production-grade environments can eliminate the wait times for on-premise IT resources, accelerate the complete SDLC, and gain a competitive advantage in today's market.
Skytap on AWS provides users with an intuitive interface allowing them to spin up environments that look and feel like AWS production environments. The offering also gives customers access to many of the tools and resources they are already accustomed to using -- such as Jenkins, Microsoft Team Foundation Server, and IBM Rational Team Concert.
"Before Skytap, we struggled with the ability to reserve and share a single resource across our development team, which had grown to fifty people," said Ryan Carey, Software Engineer at DataXu, a fast growing provider of programmatic marketing solutions. "Using Skytap, someone can now stand up their own complete stack of our system for dev and test."
"Skytap on AWS offers the ability to put our development and test environments in the same space as our production set with Amazon Web Services," said Paul Haury, IT Director at Fulcrum Technologies, the leader in enterprise asset management solutions. "Skytap's interface enables our team to spin up and tear down complex environments on-demand. We now have the confidence of knowing our development and test environments are at parity with our production deployment."
"Skytap on AWS gives development and test teams the features and services they need to build and deliver better software faster," said Brian White, vice president of products at Skytap. "Customers in our beta program saw the clear advantages of seamlessly integrating IT environments that support the complete application lifecycle -- from test to production. With the introduction of this offering, any company with applications bound for AWS can experience the same benefits and accelerate cloud adoption within their enterprise."
Enterprises can sign up for Skytap Cloud on AWS, which provides full functionality and access to Skytap Cloud services and AWS infrastructure at http://www.skytap.com/product/aws.

Ics Dolker/gambone Era Pottery Box Designed By Leopold Anzengruber, Signed:
This sale is for a striking 1930's Italian pottery box by ICS
(Industria Ceramica Salernitana), designed and signed by the Austrian
ceramicist Leopold Anzengruber (1912-1979). The cover features an African
figure with spear and shield, along with geometric designs that
continue around the sides. African motifs were to form a major part of
Anzenberger's work beginning in the 1950's. The edge of the lid and the base are
accented in the classic ICS mottled green glaze. The box is hand
signed "LEO" in black glaze in one corner of the base, and it raisedlettering, as isthe name "Pearson",
presumably a retailer. It is in excellent condition for this type of
pottery with only 2 small nicks to the rim inside the lid and very
slight glaze flakes to the edges of the box.No cracks, crazing or
breaks of any kind. It measures 5" x 4" x 1.5".There is not much information about Anzengruber's early training.
There would, however,appear to be a strong influence from Wiener Werkstatte
pottery so he likely studied there. He worked in pottery workshops in Florence and elsewhere in
Italy in the 1930's and 40's, including ICS and Zaccagnini.
Although his stock biography has him returning to Austria in 1942, that
seems unlikely considering the war. By 1948, at any rate, he had
established Anzengruber-Keramik in Vienna, a thriving design and pottery manufacturing business which, by the late 1950's, employed almost 100 people. Anzengruber's death in 1979 led to the rapid
decline and closing of his company.

Your Shopping Sprees Are Endangering Your Health: An Important Report
Photographed by Molly DeCoudreaux.
We know you feel us on this, guys. You head to Barneys, or click over to Net-A-Porter, only planning on buying or one Valextra bag or Gucci travel trolley, and before you know it, your Centurion Card's worn out from its many shopping battles, and your buys barely fit in the trunk of your S-Class. Amirite? Well, here's even more bad news for those of you who treat shopping like an Olympic sport: Turns out, your armfuls of purchases may literally be imperiling your health.
Vogue UK reports that Harvey Nichols, the London-based luxury department store chain, has teamed with Dr. Rosemary Leonard to warn customers of so-called "shopping stress injuries," apparently caused by toting multiple purchases around.
"Carrying numerous bags can put untold physical pressure on a shopper's body," Dr. Leonard stated. She warns that multiple bags can cause restricted blood flow, "tingling of the fingers, and in more extreme cases numbness, and even fainting." Dr. Leonard also sees shoppers exhibiting pulled muscles, neck, and wrist strain. That's to say nothing of the agita you experience when you get waitlisted for a Trapeze tote yet again.
So, how to stanch the tide of tragically injured shoppers? First, Dr. Leonard recommends spreading your bags out along your arm, rather than holding them all in one hand. Harvey Nichols has even produced a rubber wristband that reads "stop shop zone" to remind shoppers not to carry any bags on their wrists or in their hands (who knew?). The store also recommends using its website "and letting our delivery drivers take the strain." Well sure, them or your personal manservants.
Now, before you file this under fancy-folk problems, keep this grave warning from Dr. Leonard in mind: "As a practicing GP, I see more cases of shopping-related stress injuries at times when the economy is experiencing a boom." Not totally sure we're feeling the boom ourselves, but still, something to think about before you go HAM at that Zara sale. (Vogue)

This invention was made with Government support under contract no. DMR-9876479. The government has certain rights in this invention.
The invention relates to metal nanowires and, more particularly, to methods which facilitate the fabrication of long, free standing metal nanowires.
Metal nanowires have great potential for immediate use in small electronic circuits, sensitive chemical sensors or any application requiring metal filaments, and will likely be required as interconnects in the nanometer-scale electronics of the future, especially those future electronics which are not based on existing silicon technology. However, there are few methods for preparing nanowires that have such technological utility. More particularly, few methods are capable of producing nanowires that are long (i.e., greater than ten microns in length), uniform in diameter, free standing, and metallic. Two of the most successful approaches have been template synthesis and step-edge decoration.
The template synthesis method, which is described in publications by the research groups of M. Moskovits16-18, C. R. Martin8-15, and P. C. Searson21-27, appears to permit the growth of metal nanowires over a wide range of diameters (from nanometer to micron scale) and for a variety of different metals. Template synthesis involves the growth of carbon, metals, or polymers in the void volumes of a nonconductive porous host such as polycarbonate ultrafiltration membranes, porous Al2O3 films, and track-etched mica crystals all of which possess long (microns or longer), dimensionally uniform pores. In general, these pores are oriented perpendicular to the plane of the porous film or membrane. Nanowires are produced by filling these pores with a conductive material. Template synthesis, however, is limited by its reliance on a template. Because all of the templates listed above possess linear, cylindrical (or prismatic) pores, only linear nanowires can be produced. Moreover, nanowires produced by template synthesis are limited to a maximum length that is equal to the thickness of the porous host membrane, which tends to range from 0.1 to 20 microns.
The step edge decoration method, which is described in publications by Himpsel3-4, Kern5-7, Behm2 and others, involves the selective deposition of a metal or other material, such as CaF2, at atomic step edges on a vicinal single crystal surface. Step edge decoration can be controlled to yield continuous "wires" of varied width and interwire spacing. Long nanowires that are many microns in length have been prepared. Because the dimension of the "wire" perpendicular to the vicinal surface has usually been limited to one or at most two atomic layers, it has not been possible to remove these ultra thin metallic ribbons from the surfaces on which they are synthesized. The technological utility of such nanowires is necessarily limited as a result.
In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to provide methods that facilitate the fabrication of nanowires that are metallic, long (i.e., greater than ten microns in length), uniform in diameter, and removable from the surface on which they are synthesized and, thus, free standing.
The present invention is directed to methods that facilitate the fabrication of nanowires that are metallic, long (i.e., greater than ten microns in length), uniform in diameter, and removable from the surface on which they are synthesized and, thus, free standing. The fabrication processes of the present invention provide an electrochemical route to dimensionally uniform and mechanically robust metal nanowires that range in diameter from approximately 10–15 nm to approximately 1.0 μm, and are up to approximately 1.0 mm or more in length. The metal nanowires produced by the methods of the present invention advantageously exhibit wire diameter uniformity along the length of the wire as well as from wire-to-wire for thousands of nanowires. Preferably, the relative standard deviation from a mean diameter tends to be in a range of about 5 to 20%, and more preferably is no more than about 10%. In addition, the metal nanowires produced by the methods of the present invention tend to be electrically continuous along their entire length, i.e., typically less than about 5% of the wires produced by the methods of the present invention tend to show any visible breaks.
The present invention includes three interrelated step-decoration methods that are based on the selective electrodeposition of a metal or metal oxide from an aqueous solution at step edges present on a basal plane-oriented surface, such as graphite, that is exposed to the solution. In a first innovative aspect of the present invention (Method I), metal oxide from an aqueous solution is selectively electrodeposited along step edges present on the stepped surface to form precursor metal oxide wires. The metal oxide nucleates at a high linear density along the step edges forming beaded chains of metal oxide nuclei, which, with continued deposition, rapidly grow into a hemicylindrical nanowires. Wire growth involves low overpotential deposition at constant, or nearly constant, deposition current. Once formed, the precursor metal oxide nanowires are preferably reduced in hydrogen gas (H2) at elevated temperatures to produce metal nanowires. Preferably this gas phase reduction occurs at about 500� C. for about an hour.
In a second innovative aspect of the present invention (Method II), metal nanowires are prepared by direct electrodeposition of metal from an aqueous solution along step edges present on a stepped surface exposed to the solution. Following a nucleation pulse, the metal nucleates at a high linear density along the step edges forming beaded chains of metal nuclei, which, with continued deposition, grow into hemicylindrical nanowires. Wire growth involves low overpotential deposition at constant, or nearly constant, low deposition current. The deposition rates according to this method are preferably extremely low, e.g., the deposition rate to prepare a palladium nanowire via direct electrodepositon having a 200 nm diameter was about 10 minutes and a 300 nm diameter was about 20 minutes.
In a third innovative aspect of the present invention (Method III), beaded or hybrid metal nanowires comprising a first metal (metal A) into which nanoparticles of a second metal (metal B) have been inserted are prepared by first electrodepositing nanoparticles of metal B selectively along step edges of a step surface. The metal B nanoparticles are then capped with a molecular layer of an organic ligand having a strong affinity for the surface of the metal B nanoparticles. Metal A is then selectively electrodeposited along the step edges separating each metal B nanoparticle according to Method I or II. The ligand layer is preferably removed by heating the surface under reducing conditions in order to retain the metallic composition of the particles and connecting nanowire segments. The nanoparticles incorporated into the nanowires may range in diameter from the diameter of the nanowire itself, e.g., as small as about 10 nm, to about 1.0 μm or more.
In all three methods, the nanowires may be removed from the graphite surface by embedding the wires in a polymer film, and then pealing this film containing the embedded nanowires off of the graphite surface. This removal step makes the nanowires available for electrical characterization, for use as interconnects for connecting two nanometer-scale elements of a circuit, for the implementation of a variety of nanowire-based devices including sensors and biosensors, and for wiring of semiconductor quantum dots20 to form a circuit. When used in sensors, the binding of an analyte molecule to the surface of the nanowire induces a measurable change in the nanowire conductivity.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from consideration of the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring in detail to the figures, methods that facilitate the fabrication of metallic nanowires and metallic nanowires prepared in accordance with the methods of the present invention are shown. The methods of the present invention involve fabrication processes that provide an electrochemical route to dimensionally uniform, mechanically robust, long metal nanowires that are removable from the surface on which they are synthesized and, thus, free standing. The metal nanowires produced by the methods of the present invention tend to range in diameter from approximately 10–15 nm to approximately 1.0 μm and tend to be greater than 10–20 μm in length and preferably hundreds of microns in length on up to approximately 1.0 mm or more in length. The metal nanowires also advantageously exhibit high wire diameter uniformity along the length of the wire as well as from wire-to-wire for thousands of wires with a standard relative deviation from a mean diameter preferably in a range of about 5 to 20% and more preferably no more than about 10%. In addition, the metal nanowires produced by the methods of the present invention tend to be electrically continuous along their entire length, i.e., typically less than about 5% of the wires produced by the methods of the present invention tend to show any visible breaks.
The methods of the present invention include three interrelated step-decoration fabrication processes that are based on the electrodeposition of a metal or metal oxide from an aqueous solution on a basal plane-oriented surface, such as graphite, that is exposed to the solution. When suitable electric overpotentials are applied to the aqueous solution, the metal or metal oxide contained therein selectively deposits along the step edges present on the stepped surface forming "beaded-chains" of nuclei. With continued deposition, the beaded chains form three-dimensional nanowires with diameters in a range of about 10–15 nm to 1.0 μm for metal and in a range of about 20 nm to 1.3 μm for a metal oxide. The length of the nanowires tend to equal the length of the step edges on the stepped surface, which, with graphite in particular, tend to be equal to the grain diameter.
A first embodiment of the present invention, i.e., Method I, shown schematically in
Method I of the present invention includes a second step (Step 2) which involves a gas phase reduction of the precursor metal oxide nanowires 14 at elevated temperatures. Preferably, the metal oxide nanowires 14 are reduced in hydrogen gas (H2) at about 500� C. for about one hour to produce metallic nanowires 16 that retain the dimensional uniformity and hemicylindrical shape of the precursor, or "parent", metal oxide composite nanowires 14. The metallic nanowires 16 tend to be smaller in diameter (about 10–15 nm to 1 μm) than the parent nanowires 14 by about 30 to 35%, and tend to be mechanically resilient and electronically conductive.
In a third step (Step 3) of Method I, the gas phase reduced metal nanowires 16, which tend to be only weakly associated with the stepped surface 10, are embedded in a thin polystyrene film 18 that is cast onto the nanowires 16 and the graphite surface 10. In a fourth step (Step 4) of Method I, the film 18, after it is allowed to air dry, is peeled off of the graphite surface 10 with the metal nanowires 16 embedded therein. The embedded nanowires 16 may comprise an ensemble of tens to hundreds of nanowires or more. The ensemble of nanowires 20, which have been removed from the graphite surface 10 and, thus, are free standing, may advantageously be incorporated into an electronic circuit or sensor 22 as shown in
Referring back to
The selective decoration of the step edges 12 and, thus, wire growth, in Step 1 occurs when the deposition is carried out at suitable overpotentials, ηdep (where ηdep=Edep−Eeq). Suitable overpotentials, ηdep, used in Step 1 for wire growth may range up to about (−)900 mV versus the reversible potential1, Eeq, of the specific material involved. If the deposition is carried out using larger overpotentials, nucleation tends to be spatially indiscriminant and metal oxide particles tend to be deposited everywhere on the surface of the step terrace 13. Moreover, if the overpotentials are too large, nucleation tends to occur on the surface of the step terrace 13 to the exclusion of the step edges 12.
The deposition process of Step 1 is preferably further characterized by the application of a constant, or nearly constant, deposition current over the deposition period, which is typically greater than 20 seconds to grow nanowires of a desired size. Preferably, the constant deposition current is in a range of about 10 to 200 microamps/cm2 of electrode area. This rate invariance is consistent with a convection limited growth process where natural convective mixing of the electrolyte near an electrode surface occurs. Under these conditions the rate law for growth of a hemicylindrical solid becomes
r(t)=(2i dep t dep M/πnFρi L)1/2 (1)
where r(t) is the radius of the hemicylindrical nanowire, idep is the deposition current, tdep is the deposition time, M is the atomic weight of the deposited metal, n is the number of electrons transferred per metal atom, F is the Faraday constant, i.e., 96,485 C eq−1, ρ is its density, and L is the total length of the nanowire(s) on the electrode surface. As indicated by Equation 1, the nanowire diameter is directly proportional to the square root of the deposition time. As a result, nanowires of a particular diameter can be selectively produced by the methods of the present invention. Further, because dr/dt is proportional to t−1/2, the growth of highly dimensional uniform structures, i.e., populations of nanowires that are narrowly dispersed with respect to wire diameter, is possible.
As indicated above, the diameter of the precursor nanowires 14 range from about 20 nm to 1.3 μm, which is typically many times the height of the step edge 12 responsible for nucleating the growth of the wire 14. The height of the step edge 12 is typically about 0.3 to 2.0 nm. Two factors tend to contribute to this "amplification" of the step edge 12. First, at the low deposition potentials used in the methods of the present invention, the incipient nucleation sites tend to be confined to the step edges 12 on the graphite surface 10, which helps prevent the "spread" of the nanowire 14 onto terraces 13 during growth. The second factor is the inherent hemicylindrical symmetry of diffusional transport to metal nuclei arrayed along a linear step. The nanowire 14 ends up with a hemicylindrical cross-section because the ionic transport to the surface of the growing wire has this symmetry. These two factors operate in concert and permit the growth of hemicylindrical wires with virtually any diameter from step edges having molecular dimensions.
It should be understood that Method I may be used to produce metal nanowires from any conductive metal oxide that is electrodepositable, including MoO2, Cu2O, Fe2O3, and the like. The fabrication of molybdenum nanowires is described below with regard to
To prepare molybdenum nanowires in accordance with Method 1 shown in
MoO4 2−+2H2O+2e−→MoO2+4OH− (2)
Under the conditions employed in Step 1, i.e., low overpotentials in a range of about −600 mV to −800 mV and constant, or nearly constant, deposition current in a range of about 10 to 200 microamps/cm2, MoO2 nucleates at an extremely high linear density (greater than about 20 nuclei/μm) along the step edges 12. The deposited MoO2 forms "beaded chains" of 5–8 nm diameter MoO2 nuclei which, with continued deposition, rapidly become smooth, hemicylindrical nanowires.
A typical cyclic voltammogram for MoO4 2− at a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite electrode is shown in
Once formed, MoOx nanowires may be reduced in H2 at 500� C. to produce metallic molybdenum (Mo0) nanowires (Step 2). These metal nanowires are smaller in diameter by about 30% to 35% as compared with the parent MoOx wires, and are only weakly associated with the graphite surface 10. Removal of these reduced wires from the graphite surface is accomplished by embedding the nanowires in a polystyrene film (Step 3), and lifting this film together with the embedded nanowires off the graphite surface (Step 4).
Turning to
Preferably, the electrodeposition is carried out at very low deposition overpotentials of up to about (−)400 mV and preferably in a range of about (−)10 to (−)200 mV. To increase nucleation density and, thus, ensure that the nanowires are continuous, a nucleation pulse, well negative of the reversible potential, may be applied for about five milliseconds prior to electrodeposition at the desired overpotential. The deposition is preferably carried out at low constant, or nearly constant, deposition current, e.g., preferably less than 50 mA/cm2. Depending on the metal being deposited and the applied current density, which is preferably in a range of about 5 μAcm−2 to 50 μAcm−2, the deposition rates in Method II are preferably extremely low. For example, as shown in
In a second step (Step 2) of Method II, the metal nanowires 116 are embedded in a thin polystyrene film 118 that is cast onto the nanowires 116 and the graphite surface 110. In a third step (Step 3), the film 118, after it is allowed to air dry, is peeled off of the graphite surface 110 with the metal nanowires 116 embedded therein. The embedded nanowires 16 may comprise an ensemble of tens to hundreds of nanowires or more. The ensemble of nanowires, which have been removed from the graphite surface 110, may also advantageously be incorporated into an electronic circuit or sensor 22 as shown in
Palladium nanowires prepared in accordance with Method II are described in regard to
The morphology of the palladium nanowires, as well as other metal nanowires, obtained by electrodeposition tends to be dependent on the identity of the electrolyte present in the plating solution. For example, palladium nanowires deposited from HCl solutions, as shown in
A third embodiment of the present invention, Method III, involves the preparation of beaded or hybrid metal nanowires comprising a first metal (metal A) into which nanoparticles of a second metal (metal B) have been inserted. These hybrid metal nanowires are prepared, as shown schematically in
The deposited metal B nanoparticles 215 are then (Step 2) exposed to an ehanolic solution of an aklane thiol. As a result of the thiol exposure, each nanoparticle is "capped" by a self assembled molecular monolayer of an organic ligand 217 having a strong affinity for the surface of the metal B nanoparticles 215. Examples of such lygands include Thiols (chemical formula: R—SH where R is a hydrocarbon), which have an affinity for noble and coinage metals including Pt, Pd, Au, Ag, and Cu, and Nitriles (chemical formula: R—CN where R is a hydrocarbon), which have an affinity for Pt, Pd and Ag.
In a next step (Step 3), a metal A or a metal A oxide is selectively electrodeposited along the step edges 212 separating each metal B nanoparticle 215 according to Method I or II discussed above to form a metal A or metal A oxide nanowire 214, 216 between the metal B nanoparticles 215. Because the ligand 217 forms an electrically insulating layer atop of the metal nanoparticles 215, the deposition of the wire material does not occur on top of the nanoparicles 215, just between the nanoparticles 215.
In a final step (Step 4), the ligand layer 227 is preferably removed by heating the surface under reducing conditions in order to retain the metallic composition of the particles 215 and connecting nanowire segments 216. Preferably, the reduction of the surface occurs in H2 at 500� C., which results in the alkane thiol being pyrolyaed. The nanoparticles incorporated into the nanowires may range in diameter from the diameter of the nanowire itself, e.g., as small as about 10 nm, to about 1.0 μm or more.
Like the metal nanowires prepared according to Methods I and II (see
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific examples thereof have been shown in the drawings and are herein described in detail. Many alterations and modifications can be made by those having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the inventive concepts contained herein. It should be understood, therefore, that the illustrated embodiments have been set forth only for the purposes of example and that they should not be taken as limiting the invention.

Rain Lyrics by Faerghail
Rain by Faerghail
Every day is another rain
A dance between pleasure and pain
And every night is another death
A disturbing dream of hate and regret
Shadows are dancing without a shape
Through the vast lands of murder and rape
Sorrow frozen in eyes of the dying
Deafening silence, no laughter, no crying
Do you know the thing you are after?
Is that sound a song of joy of madman's laughter?
Just tortured soul drowned in sadness
Hunters of night driven by madness
One day i looked at the sun but it burned my eyes
I searched deep in my soul and found a lifetime of lies
These rooms are empty and the house is burning
Through floating soul in flames i'm yearning
Just a blank thoughtless decision
Just empty black eyed vision
A last tender farewell kiss.
Then cut myself, ignorance is bliss
