Sustainable production of 1,2-propanediol: Clean hydrogenolysis of glycerol over highly stable Cu-Ce/SiO2 nanocatalyst

Huang Z., Cui F., Chen J., Xia C., Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

Large quantities of glycerol are available as a reaction coproduct owing to the rapid development of biodiesel production by transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats. The hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanediols is one process [...]

Magnetically associated carbon nanotubes with mammalian cells: flow cytometry characterization and applications

Cai D., Blair D., Dufort F.J., Gumina M.R., Huang Z., Hong G., Kempa K., Ren Z.F., Chiles T.C., Boston College, US

Magnetic CNT can be driven into cells because it has an embedded Ni nanoparticle in its tip. We show herein that CNT-cell complexes are formed in the presence of a magnetic field. The complexes were [...]

A Novel Approach to Integrate Multiple Frequencies of Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (FBAR) In A Single Chip

Huang Z., Suo Z., Wang L.-P., Shim D., Ma Q., Intel Corporation, US

Driven by fast growth of wireless communications, film bulk acoustic resonators (FBAR) have been extensively studied as RF filters. Recently, an integrated RF solution, which could include multiple mobile bands, WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, and etc., [...]

Preparation of Monodispersed Silica and Composite Spheres

Tang F., Ding J., Chen D., Huang Z., Xia H., Meng X., The Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

Nanoscale crystallites of metals or semiconductors, exhibiting unusual size-dependent electronic, magnetic, optical, and catalytic properties due to the onset of quantum effects, are being heralded as the next-generation building blocks for modern materials design. However, [...]
