Image Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Lead Institution
Harvard University
Principal Investigator
Gary Holtom
Project type
Exploratory Research
Small particles (50-300 nm) particles of various iron oxides have been synthesized. These tend to aggregate and we would like to learn the size distribution of the particles and, if possible, if…

Ion Beam Characterization of Nanocomposite Tribological Coatings

Lead Institution
Montana State University
Principal Investigator
Richard Smith
Project type
Exploratory Research
The demand for low-friction and wear resistant components capable of operation in severe environments has directed attention to advanced surface engineering technologies. The Large Area Filtered Arc…

Fluorescent labeling of proteins based on known crystal structures.

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Luis Rodriguez
Project type
Exploratory Research
Protein interactions within living cells are poorly understood, particularly the spatial and temporal associations of ubiqutious proteins like calmodulin (CaM). Here, we propose to utilize computer…
