The continued success of nuclear forensic analysis relies on the development of new material and process signatures. However, the unique safety hazards and strict controls concerning nuclear materials and operations limit ...

Nanothermite is a class of composite that combines nanoscale fuel and metal oxide to allow for the rapid release of large amounts of energy through redox reaction. The use of nanomaterials has been illustrated to increase ...

Extensive research over the past half-century has proven the utility of late transition metal complexes in the activation and functionalization of alkanes and arenes. Homogeneous platinum compounds have been particularly ...

Fluorescent quantum defect is an emerging synthetic structure that can be covalently attached to a semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube. Incorporation of fluorescent quantum defect breaks the symmetry of carbon ...

Improvements in experimental techniques have led to an explosion of information in biology research. The increasing number of measurements comes with challenges in analyzing resulting data, as well as opportunities to ...

Tetrahedral transition metal chalcogenides (TTMCs), which have a common layered structural motif that could carry novel functionalities on account of the $d$-orbital filling. These metal chalcogenide layers can be held ...

Supramolecular hydrogels are of current interest for their ease of use, potential biocompatibility, and reactivity to stimuli. These gel materials have found use in a number of fields ranging from drug delivery and tissue ...

DNA’s programmable nature and ability to self-assemble provides a powerful tool for the construction of complex nanostructures. The initial goal of the field was to use DNA to construct a continuous 3D DNA periodic lattice ...

This thesis work systematically investigated carefully designed ASZM- TEDA deconstruction–reconstruction experiments. Our objective is to understand the role of each impregnant, the factors that influence filter performance, ...

Photolithography is the most mature technique for nanomanufacturing. Traditional photolithography generates patterns using a single wavelength of light. Recently, there has been considerable interest in the development of ...
