Abstract: Nanocontacts between two metal tips take in some instances the shape of an ultra-thin suspended nanowire. I will review here some theoretical issues connected with this phenomenon. First, I will discuss why nanowires arise [1], what is their stability, and their evolution behavior with time. I will focus on the formation mechanism of "magic" long lived nanowires, endowed with especially stable structures[2], explained as local minima of the thermodynamic string tension.[3] The magic nanowires may even be monatomic, as is observed in some cases, and as can be understood in terms of string tension. Second, I will focus on transition metals that are nonmagnetic but close to magnetism in bulk, and discuss the possible onset of local magnetism in their monatomic nanocontacts and nanowires. I will show, based on zero-temperature electronic structure calculations, that magnetism may generally occur in monatomic nanowires of Rh, Ru, and Pd, and also of Pt, Os, and Ir[4], owing to d-band narrowing, sometimes favored by spin-orbit coupling. Since magnetism tends to reduce the number of conducting channels crossing the Fermi level, the ballistic conductance of nanocontacts could also be affected by magnetism by an amount that can be calculated[5,6], at least neglecting fluctuations. Conductance calculations will be presented for fully magnetic Ni and Co monatomic nanocontacts,[6] with results in general agreement with low temperature break junction data.

Designing Biology Symposium
Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University
It is now possible to provide a detailed description of many biological processes and, in some cases, to explain how they function. Scientists aim to use these principles in the future to predict and control the behavior of biological systems by design, using tools developed at the interface between biomedical and physical systems. Speakers will discuss different areas of biology and the promise they hold for the future in further understanding and predicting their properties.

Topic: Molecular Imaging
Imaging techniques have had a major impact in medicine and nanoscale technology has already afforded the possibility of intracellular imaging. The current drive in developing techniques that can enhance spatial resolution at the molecular level to detect early biological markers can lead to early diagnosis, more accurate characterization of disease, and perhaps opportunities in drug discovery.
