Aquatic nanotoxicity testing: Insights at the biochemical, cellular, and whole animal levels
DownloadFall 2013
Aquatic organisms are susceptible to waterborne nanoparticles and there is only limited understanding of the mechanisms by which these emerging contaminants affect biological processes. The unique properties of nanomaterials necessitate evaluation of standard toxicity testing techniques to...

With the rapid development of electrified transportation, electrochemical energy storage devices will be more important than they have ever been in human history. Lithium-ion batteries are considered as the most energy efficient candidates, due to their relatively long cycle life. However, their...

The development of photolithography has been the main driving force of the semiconductor industry to keep pace with Moore’s Law for over five decades. The theoretical resolution limit of state-of-the-art 193 nm photolithography is about 36 nm (half pitch). By integrating multiple patterning...

Molecular self-assembly is the basis of structure in Nature. While of far less complexity than a natural system, the same physical rules apply to simple synthetic designed systems that spontaneously form self-assembled structures and patterns. The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) is an...

On a perfect hydrogen-terminated Si(100)-2x1 surface, each surface silicon atom is capped with exactly one atom of hydrogen. When one of the capping hydrogen atoms is removed, the now unsatisfied orbital of the underlying silicon atom is exposed at that site. This site is better known as a...

This work investigates the use of nanoimprint lithography for creating nanoscale resonator devices for applications in mass sensing. A bilayer resist consisting of PMMA 495/LOR 3A allowed the ideal imprint yield for resonators with widths ranging from 300 nm down to 120 nm. Resonators with...

Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) is a powerful tool for structuring materials at the deep nanoscale. Modeling and simulation of electron-beam interactions at this length scale is vital to understanding and optimizing nanofabrication using EBL. The low to high voltage (5 keV – 100 keV) regimes of...
