Multiscale Modelling of Nanoparticle Suspensions
Online Presentations | 12 Jun 2017 | Contributor(s):: Pietro Asinari
In the present work a multiscale modelling approach is implemented to relate the nanoscale phenomena to the macroscopic bulk properties of nano-suspensions. Specifically, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and Brownian Dynamics (BD) are synergistically integrated to understand the mechanisms...

How to Engineer Human Microbiomes?
Online Presentations | 01 Mar 2017 | Contributor(s):: Mohit Verma
We are developing tools based on nanotechnology, bioengineering, and analytical chemistry to understand causal relationships between microbiomes and their hosts, and to manipulate microbiomes for desirable outcomes, e.g. to shift patients from unhealthy to healthy states. One of these tools uses...

Nanoparticle Pollutants
Teaching Materials | 13 Jan 2017 | Contributor(s):: Darren Hayes, Nancy Healy, NNCI Nano
Many plastics are in our oceans due to pollution, including ocean dumping and land runoff. Sunlight and alkaline ocean water break these plastics down into small particles, many are nanoscale in size. These nanoparticles can easily enter our cells. Students examine if and how these...

Synthesis and Characterization of CdSe Qunatum Dots
Teaching Materials | 09 Jan 2017 | Contributor(s):: Nicholas Blake, NNCI Nano
In this laboratory, students will study how surfactant-based chemistry can be used to synthesize CdSe quantum dots and study how the size of the quantum dots can be controlled by varying reaction time. The laboratory will demonstrate how the color of these quantum dots can be connected to...

How Small is That?
Teaching Materials | 11 Nov 2016 | Contributor(s):: Jamie Ryan, NNCI Nano
This lab is designed to help students understand the size of nanoparticles compared to the size of other known quantities, such as a human being or a skin cell. After the size of nanoparticles is understood, the students will be challenged to come up with a way to “save”...
