Next Generation Nanospring-Enhanced Catalytic Converters

Corti G., Cantrell T., Beaux M., McIlroy D.N., Norton M.G., GoNano Technologies, Inc., US

Air pollution generated from automobile emissions is an area of general concern because of the environmental impact associated with such emissions and the growth in the world vehicle fleet. Significant developments in automotive catalytic converters [...]

Nanostructured Photocatalytic Approach to CO2 Conversion

Corti G., Cantrell T., Beaux M., Prakash T., McIlroy D.N., Norton M.G., GoNano Technologies, US

Several approaches to stabilize and reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations have been tested. While carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been hailed as the most promising approach for sequestering CO2 safely away from the atmosphere, the [...]

Engineering High Surface Area Catalysts for Clean Tech Applications

McIlroy D.N., Corti G., Cantrell T., Beaux M., Prakash T., Norton M.G., Washington State University, US

Since catalytic performance is a limiting factor for many essential elements of the hydrogen economy, the need for improved catalysts is great. One-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials are ideal catalysts because of their large surface area to [...]

Delivery of Shiga Toxin 1 A Subunit into Epithelial Cells Using Silica-Based Nanowires

Kwon N.H., Beaux M., Sheng H., Ebert C., Wang L., McIlroy D.N., Hovde C.J., Bohach G.A., University of Idaho, US

Silica-based nanowires were used to introduce the Shiga toxin 1 A subunit (StxA1) into bovine and human epithelial cells. We extended our previous technology which employs fibronectin (Fn) as a ligand to induce integrin-mediated uptake [...]
