The recent earthquake in Haiti has focused worldwide attention on the need for improved water purification materials and systems. 15 June 2010
Block copolymers self-assemble on nanometer length scales, making them ideal for emerging nanotechnologies. 15 June 2010
Mix a drop of water into a vial of oil. With some surfactant and a vigorous shake, that one droplet has become thousands, and the total interfacial area has increased by an order of magnitude or more. 15 June 2010
The nanoscale dimensions, sensitive electronic control, and flexible architecture of new generations of nanomaterials and nanofabrication techniques hold immense promise not only for electronic devices, but also biological interfaces. 15 June 2010
This paper summarizes some of our efforts in designing and synthesizing bio-functional layers at solid/solution interfaces, characterizing their structure and dynamics, and optimizing their functional properties. 30 April 2010
The term fouling generally refers to an undesirable process in which a surface becomes encrusted with material from the surrounding environment. 30 April 2010
Patterning of surfaces with different chemistries provides novel insights into how proteins, cells and tissues interact with materials. 30 April 2010
Cell surfaces are fertile ground for chemists and material scientists to manipulate or augment cell functions and phenotypes. 30 April 2010
Are you on Facebook? Twitter, perhaps? Maybe LinkedIn? What about a social networking site dedicated to materials science? If you are not, you may be more alone than you think… 16 February 2010
Nature is the best example of a system functioning on the nanometer scale, where the involved materials, energy consumption and data handling are optimized. Opening the doors to the nanoworld the emergence of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1982 and the atomic force microscope in 1986 led to a shift of paradigm in the understanding and perception of matter at its most fundamental level. 24 August 2009
