Spring 2012
Silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) have been suggested for sensing and lasing applications due to their low-toxicity and compatibility with existing microelectronic technologies. Their broad luminescence, due to homogeneous (150 meV or 40 nm at room temperature) and inhomogeneous broadening, may...

Spring 2018
Small-molecule metabolites (MW < 1,000 Da) are now emerging as an important type of biomarkers, thanks to the rapid development of systems biology such as metabolomics. Compared to nucleic acids and protein, metabolite is closer to the phenotype. Rapid detection and quantification of metabolites...

Spring 2017
Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) have been explored as active materials in a variety of prototype applications including photovoltaics, electronics, photonics, and sensors based on their optical and electronic properties. Using SiNCs are appealing because their source material (i.e., silicon) is...

Towards a Better Understanding of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Microgel-Based Etalons and their Continued Development in Diagnostics
DownloadFall 2013
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgel-based etalons are photonic materials that exhibit color based on temperature or other environmental stimuli. These materials provide a new and unique method for biosensing and other applications. Therefore it is important to understand these materials...
