Development of Metabolomics for Biomarker Discovery

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Thomas Metz
Project type
Exploratory Research
Metabolomics is a holistic approach to the study of a biological system’s metabolite complement (often generalized to include essentially all small molecules), and its practice is anticipated to…

Nanocrystalline MoS2 catalysts

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Wendy Shaw
Project type
Exploratory Research
Characterization by SEM of nanocrystalline MoS2 solids. We have 4 samples that we would like to analyze by SEM for nanostructure.

Determination of nanoporous material oxidation states

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Dawn Wellman
Project type
Exploratory Research
This proposal is in support of projects associated with the development of novel surface-activated nanoporous materials for treatment of waste waters and as radionuclides getters in proposed…

Characterization of Pure and Doped ZnO Nanoclusters

Lead Institution
University of Idaho
Principal Investigator
JiJi Antony
Project type
Exploratory Research
ZnO is a wide-band gap semiconductor (3.3 eV) that has attracted tremendous interest as blue light emitting spintronic material. ZnO particles when doped with transition metals can develop properties…
