Thin film with gold and glycerol
I'm trying to create a ~2-3 nm thick film with glycerol and gold nanoparticles(30 nm in dia.). The gold particles are in suspension in DI water. I've tried a 5% solution (diluted glycerol) and the DI and gold using a dip coating process with withdraw speed (0.75 mm/min). The film thickness...

AFM Tutorial Videos
Prof. Nancy Burnham at WPI has created a series of very nice tutorials for YouTube. There are currently 29 (!) covering everything: the basics, feedback loops, calibration, friction-force, non-contact imaging, comparison with STM, and more. Check them out here: www.youtube.com/user/AtomicForceMicro [caption id="attachment_1549" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Screengrab from YouTube tutorial"][/caption]...

Fibrin nanoconstructs: a novel processing method and their use as controlled delivery agents
Fibrin nanoconstructs (FNCs) were prepared through a modified water-in-oil emulsification–diffusion route without the use of any surfactants, resulting in a high yield synthesis of fibrin nanotubes (FNTs) and fibrin nanoparticles (FNPs). The fibrin nanoconstructs formed an aligned structure with self-assembled nanotubes with closed heads that eventually formed spherical nanoparticles of size 250 nm. The...

Clean rooms
In nearly all nanotechnology processes, having an ultra-clean environment is essential. Even small amounts of dust or other particulates in the air can significantly affect the results of spin coating, photolithography, sputtering, or microscopy, etc. As a result, all nanotechnology facilities contain clean rooms in which almost all fabrication is...
