ES&T Cover!
The catalytic properties of nanoparticles have been leveraged to develop a sensitive and simple colorimetric methodology for detection of metal and oxide nanoparticles in complex media. Image of assay’s reaction was selected as the cover image of the journal ES&T. This work was highlighted by NSF via twitter
A team led by Jonathan D. Posner, Bryan T. McMinn Endowed Associate Professor at UW, developed a colorimetric assay – similar to a swimming pool test kit – that tests for the presence or absence of nanoparticles in biological and environmental relevant samples with sufficient sensitivity as part per billion concentration levels.
