today鈥檚 major scientific challenges. Through our research program in soft and bio nanomaterials, we devise synthesis and self-assembly approaches for rationally fabricating nanoparticles with desired functions and organizing them into large-scale architectures. To direct the formation and assembly of organic, inorganic, and hybrid nanomaterials, we leverage soft materials such as surfactants, polymers, and biomolecules. Applying x-ray scattering; scanning probe, electron, and optical microcopy; and spectroscopy, we reveal the organization and functions of these nanomaterials. In-house-developed automated platforms for synthesis and characterization accelerate materials discovery. By realizing nanomaterials with tailored functions, we aim to address limitations in sensing, catalysis, photonics, energy conversion, and information processing.</p> </div> <div class="grid_8"> <a class="button font-5" style="float:right;margin-right:0;" href="highlights/">See all</a> <h4 class="baseColor">Research Highlights</h4> <ul class='articleSummaries alt1'> <li class=''><a target='_top' href='/cfn/research/highlights/news.php?a=222179'><div class='thumbnail'><img onerror='this.src="/assets/global/images/unavailable-minipic.jpg";' src='/today/intra_pics/2024/11/cfn-highligh-oct-3-550px.jpg' alt='Atomically precise Ce(IV) clusters are identified as a novel class of fluorescent probes for rapid s' /></div> <h3>Lighting Up PFAS: Rapid Detection with Fluorescent Nanosensors</h3> </a> <div class='clear'></div> <li class=''><a target='_top' href='/cfn/research/highlights/news.php?a=221895'><div class='thumbnail'><img onerror='this.src="/assets/global/images/unavailable-minipic.jpg";' src='/today/intra_pics/2024/04/nanosheets-550px.jpg' alt='nanosheets' /></div> <h3>Nanosheets Increase Perovskite Solar Cell Efficiency and Stability</h3> </a> <div class='clear'></div> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="midRibbon"> <div class="container_24"> <div class="grid_24"> <h3 class="thin">Associated Group Facilities</h3> </div> <div class="grid_8"> <img alt="placeholder" class="fwd fwm" src="../images/research/facility-materials-synthesis.jpg"/> <h4><a href="/cfn/facilities/materialssynthesis.php"><strong>Synthesis and Characterization Facility</strong></a></h4> <p>Capabilities include techniques and methods required for the synthesis, fabrication and study of novel hybrid structures and functionalities using regulated nanoscale assembly and self-organization approaches.
