Biomineralization Study of Otoconia by Atomic Force Microscopy

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James De Yoreo
In this proposal, we are going to use ex situ and in situ atomic force microscopy to investigate the role of four key key proteins in the formation of otoconia. We will observe adsorption and self…

In situ TEM study of growth mechanisms of branched nanowires

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James De Yoreo
Electrical, optical and mechanical properties of inorganic nanostructures have strong relationships with their morphologies. For example, one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes,…

Directed Organization of Biological Materials at Inorganic Interfaces

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James De Yoreo
This research supports the BER mission to understand the mechanisms underlying biological processes in microbial systems and how to manipulate them in order to harness these processes for…

Pre-equilibrium in-situ solvated ion/molecular adsorption processes and events on solid substrates in aqueous environments: Adsorption discretization, surface adsorption waves and repulsive forces

Lead Institution
Guangzhou University
Principal Investigator
Mario Gomez
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The purpose of the proposed work is to image and analyze chemically at the micro-nano scale pre-equilibrium adsorption processes and events hypothesized to occur (adsorption discretization, surface…

Building a Predictive Understanding of Particle-Based Mineral Growth

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James De Yoreo
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Traditional models of mineral formation through monomer-by-monomer addition have been challenged by recent evidence for crystallization through the addition of "particles," ranging from…
