1. Golden Opportunities: Gold Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

   14 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Catherine J. Murphy

   In this talk I will discuss how these nanoparticles are prepared, how their surface chemistry can be tuned, how apparent cytotoxicity can be traced back to reagents in the synthesis rather than the particles per se, how protein orientation can be controlled on their surfaces, how cells respond...

2. How Catalysts Work - A Nanoscale Phenomenon

   13 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Manueal Casillas, NNCI Nano

   This activity helps students understand how catalysts work on the nanoscale. Catalyst are more efficient when on the nanoscale because of the large amount of surface area in comparison to volume. This is a great way to introduce or review reactants, catalysts, and adsorption, desorption, and...

3. Lab on a Slab: Microfluidics Activity

   13 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: John Gomm, NNCI Nano

   Microfluidics is a technique for manipulating liquid samples. With one drop of liquid sample, small devices and channels can be used with nanoparticles for sensitive detection of chemicals. In this lab, students will create a fluidic device with agar gel and use it to test and diagnose three...

4. Nanoparticle Shape Lab

   10 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: JCS Kadupitiya, Nicholas E. Brunk, Vikram Jadhao

   Simulates the low-energy shapes of nanocontainers over a wide range of solution conditions

5. Light Extraction by Changing Composition of Material

   06 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Sidhu Rano, NNCI Nano

   This activity has been designed to have students explore light emitting diodes (LED) and the importance of index of refraction in improving LED efficiency. This activity investigates the tune-ability of a polymer’s index of refraction by using a macromodel LED.

6. Ice Cream Break with Nanoscience: Nucleations and Colloid Suspensions

   06 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Raeanne L. Napoleon, Marilyn Garza, NNCI Nano

   This lesson is designed to demonstrate how liquid nitrogen cools a mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates extremely fine ice crystals from a homogeneous mixture of cream and other ingredients. It is also designed to show how ice cream can be made smoother and creamier through...

7. The Interfacial Chemistry of Organic Aerosols and Cloud Droplets

   10 May 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Kevin R. Wilson

   I will highlight our efforts to use nanoparticles and droplets in the laboratory to understand heterogeneous reaction mechanisms and the underlying physical chemistry of cloud droplet formation.
