Principal Investigator
Yuehe Lin
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Human exposure to toxic chemical agents (i.e. pesticides, nerve agents) and infectious agents, such as pathogens, may have some immune response, which is composed of both cellular and acellular…

Molecular-scale controls on heteroepitaxy at mineral-water interfaces

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Sebastien Kerisit
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The objective of the proposed research is to elucidate and quantify the molecular-scale mechanisms of heteroepitaxial nucleation and growth at mineral-water interfaces. Despite several examples of…

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…
