Light-matter interaction has been a major avenue of study for decades. With the advent of the laser, precise control, manipulation and study of atoms and molecules has been possible, and as the power output of lasers has ...
Dykes, Gretchen Elizabeth(University of Delaware, 2021)
Rice is a critical food source for over half the world’s population, but rice quality and yield are threatened by arsenic (As) uptake into grains. Arsenic and iron (Fe) biogeochemical cycling control the speciation and ...
The self-assembly of nanoparticles serves as a way to build periodic crystalline structures. Externally-applied stimuli enable one to manipulate interparticle interaction potentials, and thus, avoid kinetically-arrested ...
Colloidal suspensions, composed of micron-sized attractive particles in fluids, are a prevalent type of soft material abundantly found in cosmetics, paints, dairy products, cements, and pharmaceuticals. Capillary suspensions ...
