Ben O'Shaughnessy
Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry
Precise nanoscale arrangements of metallic or semiconducting nanoparticles can produce fascinating new materials with novel electronic or photonic properties. Potential applications range from displays to storage devices. A major challenge, however, is how to actually place nanoparticles in these delicate spatial configurations. The aim of the research is to investigate the possibility of using complex mesostructured polymer phases, possessing naturally occurring structure on scales of a few nanometers, as templates to spontaneously arrange the nanoparticles. This group is developing a theoretical understanding of these polymer-nanoparticle mixtures, in collaboration with experimentalists Durning and Levicky in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering. They are trying to understand the equilibrium statistical mechanics of these systems to predict how nanoparticles naturally distribute themselves in lamellar and other phases spontaneously formed by block copolymers.

Arlington, VA, NSF Press Release
Society of London. Series A: Mathematical and Physical Sciences announces a mathematical model that will help researchers understand "cell signaling" and learn how single atoms travel along the circuitous pathways in a cell. The model is a new approach to look at percolation—the flow of a liquid or small particle through a porous material. In the simulation, materials pass through fields of complex, three-dimensional shapes, a
scenario that is closer to real-world environments than existing two-dimensional models and models incorporating simpler shapes. The model was developed by Ann Marie Sastry and Yun-Bo Yi, both of the University of Michigan. The researchers will use their findings in a larger study that will deploy sensor proteins inside a cell where the nanoscale devices will track the paths of ions.

Studying Nanotechnology
by K. Eric Drexler
Foresight Briefing #1
originally published in 1988
Fields of Research o Levels of Knowledge Background Fields o Modes of Learning 1998 WWW Links Many students have asked what they should study to prepare for careers in nanotechnology. Giving a decent answer requires outlining the different fields of research that fall under the nanotechnology umbrella and describing the background knowledge required to work in them. It also seems wise to say something about the different levels of knowledge and modes of learning that are relevant to such a broad, interdisciplinary area. The following is a personal view, based on what I have learned (and wished I had learned), and on how learning in these areas seems to work best.

Nanotechnology
The 'shrinking' of traditional engineering is driven largely by chip technology and by the microfabrication of nanostructures in Physics. For soft materials, access to subcellular organelles is facilitated by developments in optics and protein chemistry. Nanotechnology research is conducted in the Department of Physics in conjunction with the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter (LRSM) where investigations of nanotubes and 'buckyballs' are in progress. The Pennsylvania Muscle Institute (PMI) and Department of Physiology have a program in Molecular Motors (See under "Cell Motility" above) of the cytoskeleton using purified cell proteins. Optical images of living cell components are generated by fluorescent gene constructs (GFP) transfected into cells and rendered 3-dimensional for dynamics studies at the Optical Imaging Laboratory of the Institute for Medicine and Engineering (IME)
Manipulations of Single Molecules (PMI)
A very recent area of research concentration at the Pennsylvania Muscle Institute is nanotechnology. The Institute’s involvement has been in development of techniques to manipulate and study single functioning protein molecules. In many enzyme and polynucleotide systems, important elementary events at the molecular level are obscured within the average behavior of a molecular population. Studying enzymes one at a time has only recently become technically feasible but new information, not otherwise available, can be gained from such an approach. Work in this area will allow, for the first time, measurements of time-resolved structural information, forces, elasticity and molecular displacements on single biomolecules.

Nanotechnology Modern research in chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology is increasingly focused on nanoscale systems and nanotechnology. Basically, this is the study of systems, materials and phenomena where the important length scale is conveniently measured in nanometers (nm).

UConn Physics Colloquium From X-Ray Astronomy to Nanotechnology: The Physics and Applications of Highly Charged Ions Dr. John Gillaspy
National Institute of Standards and Technology Most of the known matter in the universe exists in highly ionized states that rarely occur on earth. With laboratory instruments such as the Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT), however, it is possible to create an arbitrary charge state of any ion, and confine a collection of such ions in a small electromagnetic bottle for precise study. By poking a hole in a self-filling version of such a bottle, a continuous beam of highly charged ions can be formed. This talk will survey the history, fundamental physics, and potential applications of highly charged ions, with a particular focus on the use of an EBIT to support research in the areas of x-ray astronomy and nanotechnology.

Choosing your degree Chemistry Chemistry
BSc Chemistry
3 years, UCAS Code: F100
By the end of the degree you will have studied a range of chemistry topics and had the opportunity to focus on particular areas of interest. In years 1 and 2 you take chemistry core courses. Third-year BSc students carry out a project and take options from a range of topics. . ^ Back to the main Chemistry page.
BSc Chemistry (Sandwich)
4 years, UCAS Code: F106
By the end of the degree you will have studied a range of chemistry topics and had the opportunity to focus on particular areas of interest. In years 1 and 2 you take chemistry core courses. Third-year BSc students carry out a project and take options from a range of topics. On the sandwich year programme, you spend year 3 in industry, and take further courses upon your return to Sussex. The sandwich option allows you to gain industrial or professional experience as part of your degree, providing excellent preparation for subsequent employment. ^ Back to the main Chemistry page.
BSc Chemistry and Law
4 years, UCAS Code: FM11
The advantages of this combination include an appreciation of two different methods of analysis and reasoning, and a familiarity with the material of both separate but interlinked disciplines. A chemist with a knowledge of the law will better harness, protect and exploit the fruits of his or her scientific work. Likewise, a lawyer with knowledge of the natural sciences will be well equipped to act on behalf of scientists whose work calls for legal protection or resolution.

Previous News for January 2003 Next Nanotechnology is good for the heart
10 January 2003 A Swiss team of physicists, biochemists and doctors has constructed an array of sub-millimetre sized cantilevers to monitor blood proteins. The device, built by Youri Arntz of the University of Basel and colleagues at Basel and IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory, can measure proteins whose concentration reflects the state of a person's heart. It promises quicker and easier diagnoses of heart attacks than existing technologies, which rely on the radioactive labelling of proteins (Y Arntz et al. 2003 Nanotechnology 14 86). The array consists of eight cantilevers, all 0.5 millimetres long, 0.1 millimetres wide and 500 nanometres thick, and coated on their upper surfaces with blood protein antibodies. When immersed in a liquid containing blood proteins, the antibodies bind to the proteins and induce a stress in the cantilevers, causing them to bend. The researchers were able to measure this bending by monitoring a laser beam reflected by each cantilever. In their experiments, they coated one of the cantilevers with the antibodies of the creatin kinase protein, and another with the antibodies of the myoglobin protein. They immersed the array in a solution of creatin kinase and then in a solution of myoglobin, and in both cases they observed bending in the relevant cantilever.
