Multiple method analysis of TiO2 nanoparticles uptake, accumulation and effects in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants

August 4, 2017
Author(s)
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

May 14, 2017
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Fagan
As-synthesized single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) populations contain substantial distributions of SWCNT structures, including in the distribution of species ((n,m) chiralities) and enantiomers (i.e. the handedness of the lattice vector), as well as in

Graphene microcapsule arrays for combinatorial electron microscopy and spectroscopy in liquids

April 27, 2017
Author(s)
Alexander Yulaev, Hongxuan Guo, Evgheni Strelcov, Lei Chen, Ivan Vlasssiouk, Andrei Kolmakov
An atomic-scale thickness, molecular impermeability, low atomic number, and mechanical strength make graphene an ideal electron transparent membrane for scanning electron microscopy and spectroscopy in liquids. Here, we present a novel sample platform made

Nanoscale Imaging and Spectroscopy of Band Gap and defects in Polycrystalline Photovoltaic Devices

April 12, 2017
Author(s)
Yohan Yoon, Jungseok Chae, Aaron M. Katzenmeyer, Heayoung Yoon, Joshua D. Schumacher, Sang M. An, Andrea Centrone, Nikolai B. Zhitenev
Improving the power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) devices is challenging because the generation, separation and collection of electron-hole pairs in PV devices is strongly dependent on details of the nanoscale chemical composition and defects

Frontiers of Characterization and Metrology for Nanoelectronics: 2017

March 20, 2017
Author(s)
Erik M. Secula, David G. Seiler
The 2017 International Conference on Frontiers of Characterization and Metrology for Nanoelectronics (FCMN) has the goal of bringing together scientists and engineers interested in all aspects of the characterization and measurement technology needed for
