An integrated NMR/nanosensor system for sensitive detection of environmental toxins and harmful microbes

Perez J.M., Fries D.P., Hickman J.J., University of Central Florida, US

The use of nanoparticles and NMR detection technologies has lead to significant improvements in sensitivity. Nanoparticles have many useful optical and electronic properties derived from their small size. When coupled to affinity ligands, these materials [...]

A New Wet Chemical Approach to the Selective Synthesis of Silver Nanowires

Hernandez E.A., Posada B., Irizarry R., Castro M.E., The University of Puerto Rico, US

A new wet chemical approach is presented for the selective synthesis of silver nanowires based on the assembly of silver nanoparticles covered with a bi-functional thiol. The particles are formed spontaneously upon the addition of [...]
