Yinqging Deng, Elijah Petersen, Katie Challis, Savelas A. Rabb, Richard D. Holbrook, James Ranville, Bryant C. Nelson, Baoshan Xing
Understanding the translocation of nanoparticles (NPs) into plants is challenging because quantitative and qualitative methods are still being developed and the comparability of results among different methods is unclear. In this study, the uptake of NPs

Exposure to Engineered Nanomaterials: Impact on DNA Repair Pathways

July 13, 2017
Author(s)
Neenu Singh, Bryant C. Nelson, Leona D. Scanlan, Erdem Coskun, Pawel Jaruga, Shareen Doak
Some engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) may have the potential to cause damage to the genetic material in living systems. The mechanistic machinery functioning at the cellular/molecular level, in the form of DNA repair processes, has evolved to help

Observation and Impact of a "Surface Skin Effect" on Lateral Growth of Nanocrystals

June 3, 2017
Author(s)
Babak Nikoobakht, Elias J. Garratt, Paola Prete, Nico Lovergine
We investigate the impact of a quasi-crystalline two (2D) dimensional surface on the lateral epitaxy of one-dimensional (1D) nanocrystals. The quasi-2D surface was formed by locally conditioning a crystalline lattice at- and below-surface using a low dose

Progress towards total structure control in SWCNT populations
