Microplastic and Nanoplastic Metrology

Ongoing
The Micro and Nanoplastic (MNP) Metrology Project aims to develop a toolbox of methods for size-based separations from complex matrices, chemical characterization protocols, and test materials necessary to enable quantification of micro- and nano-sized plastic particles, a need articulated by our

Atom Manipulation with the Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Ongoing
Manipulation of single atoms with the scanning tunneling microscope is made possible through the controlled and tunable interaction between the atoms at the end of the STM probe tip and the single atom (adatom) on a surface that is being manipulated. In the STM tunneling junction used for atom

Metrology for Nanomaterials in Medicine

Ongoing
Drug products that incorporate nanomaterials are defined by FDA as non-biological complex drugs (NBCDs). NBCDs are a class of medical products that cannot be defined nor fully identified as traditional small-molecule drugs. NBCDs consist of different components that form a complex hybrid structure
