http://sustainable-nano.com/2015/07/07/fruit-colors
A blog by the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology. How the Fruits Got Their Colors. July 7, 2015. July 7, 2015. Fruit and vegetable colors seem to be dominated by greens, yellows, oranges and reds. With my interest piqued, I set out to explore and better understand. How the fruits (and vegetables) got their colors. Blueberries: blue, or purple? Image by Jeff Kubina. Color wheel (with corresponding light wavelengths). Image modified from Benja. So how does this light absorption work? If that stuff about...

How Do Nanoparticles Stick to Bacteria? Or, How Are Cell Membranes Like Velcro? | Sustainable Nano
http://sustainable-nano.com/2015/08/04/how-do-nanoparticles-stick-to-bacteria
A blog by the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology. How Do Nanoparticles Stick to Bacteria? Or, How Are Cell Membranes Like Velcro? August 4, 2015. August 31, 2015. Scientists have known for some time that nanomaterials can stick to cell membranes and, in some cases, damage the membrane in the process. But what exactly do nanomaterials stick to on the cell membrane? A particular type of molecule called lipopolysaccharides (LPS) may provide a key to answering this question. Image by Mike Jones. The killi...

A blog by the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology. Light Can Do Way More Than Bend: Part 2. June 9, 2015. June 9, 2015. For the first post. That I wrote for the blog 2 years ago, I discussed some of the cool things that focused, high intensity light from a laser can do. For example, under the right circumstances laser light can change color (wavelength) when passing through certain materials. We use this cool phenomenon, called frequency doubling. Making Strings of Nanoparticles. The green section in t...
