  2. Mystery Molecules: Identifying Materials with Nanoscale Characterization Tools

    18 Mar 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Maude Cuchiara, NNCI Nano

     In this lesson plan, students will be given several similar looking materials and asked to identify them by observing them at the macro and micro-scale. They will then be exposed to different analytical tools and describe how they can be used to explore materials at the nanoscale. ...

  3. Sample Preparation for Powder X-ray Diffraction

    13 Mar 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Nicole Wonderling, NACK Network

  5. Lines on Paper

    09 Jan 2017 | | Contributor(s):: Joshua LaForge, NNCI Nano

    Students will learn how scientists use a process called X-ray diffraction to figure out the structure of things that are too small to see such as atoms, molecules, and crystal structures.This lab will help students understand how light is bent into different directions as it interacts with...

  6. [Illinois] Biophysics 401 Lecture 4: DNA & X-Ray Diffraction

    22 Sep 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Paul R Selvin

  7. [Illinois] A Microfluidic Approach for Cocrystallization of Drugs and Analysis via X-ray Diffraction

    27 Sep 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Elizabeth Horstman

    The process of pharmaceutical drug development is cost- and time-intensive. Candidate drugs (CDs) are screened with many counter ions (salt or cocrystal formers) to find solid forms of the drug with appropriate physicochemical (e.g., solubility, dissolution rate) properties. Cocrystals are...

  8. [Illinois] ECE 416 Avidin-Biotin and Surface Functionalization I

    24 Apr 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Cunningham

               In this lecture, we start off by taking a look at X-Ray Crystallography and how it is used to understand how biomolecules binding works. The x-ray data is processed by computer algorithms to determine coordinates of all atoms in...
