Consumption of seafood has been on a steady rise based on reports of associated health benefits. Marine organisms are sources of staple and functional food. However, they are also the main source of total arsenic exposure ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are one of the most intensively studied nanomaterials due to their extraordinary mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. Attaining aqueous solutions of individual SWCNTs is ...

The living polymerization of ethene, propene, higher carbon-number linear and branched chain α-olefins, and α,ω-nonconjugated dienes has provided the basis for the development of modern technological advances and achievements. ...

Understanding the thermal stability of DNA secondary structures is important to the pharmaceutical industry, as drug molecules that strongly bind will increase the stability of the structure, leading to higher measured ...

Our research combines organic photochemistry with the engineering principles of rheology through the study of photorheological fluids (PR). The two photochemical systems researched show changes in the rheological properties ...

Plasmonic nanoparticles with collective excitations of the conduction-band electrons have many potential applications in surface­enhanced spectroscopies, photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and biomedicine. The plasmonic ...

Single-neuron proteomics holds the potential to advance our understanding of important biological processes during neuron maturation and development. However, to characterize proteins from single neurons, further technological ...

Nanoparticles are being used increasingly in new fields for new applications. Thoroughcharacterization of particle properties such as size, aggregation, and mass are key to understanding particle behavior. In this dissertation ...

Utilizing sustainable and clean solar energy in the visible-NIR range to drive chemical transformation has been a key resolution to solve the energy crisis. Recently, rational design of photocatalysts that conjugate plasmonic ...

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (CCRs) have emerged as a powerful synthetic tool for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds, allowing a wide range of coupling partners to be combined efficiently. ...
