Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, could significantly improve energy storage and delivery devices, but it is difficult to understand and control how charged ionic species are transported in graphene electrodes. Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Princeton University learned that surface defects alter the liquid's interaction with the graphene surface.

This is a three dimensionally ordered material created by casting from a template of polymer spheres. A mixture of Cu-Mg-Al penetrates through the FCC packing of spheres and after calcination at high temperature, to remove the spheres, leaves behind an inverse opal (hexagonal array) structure. The curved regions in the image arise due to defects in packing of spheres, thereby giving rise to these broken flowers.

The mystery behind the Widget
A widget is a device placed in a container of beer to manage the characteristics of the beer's head. The original widget was patented in Ireland by Guinness. The "floating widget" is found in cans of beer as a hollow plastic sphere, 3 cm in diameter (similar in appearance to a small table tennis ball) with a small hole (about 250 µm) in one side.

Brenton Elisberg, left, and Ryan Jamison look through a piece of cracked laminate glass, an example of how brittle materials can fail. Brenton and Ryan are part of Sandia’s Brittle Materials Assurance Prediction Program (BritMAPP), which is studying brittle materials in three ways: through stress and loading; fracture mechanics to see how cracks start and develop; and the relationship between material properties and structure.

Immune surveillance by macrophages and monocytes is important for removing foreign invaders from the body, eliminating dead or damaged cells, and tissue homeostasis. Functional plasticity of macrophages enables them to respond to different stimuli, performing a variety of immune modulatory roles. During tumor development, macrophages are among the first immune cells to migrate into the tumor. Stimuli, including molecules secreted by cancer cells, polarize macrophages into various tumor-associated macrophage subpopulations. Factors secreted by macrophages include immunosuppressive cytokines, inflammatory chemokines, and phagocytosis molecules. Shown here are multiple macrophages (white) associating with a breast cancer cell (red). At the University of New Mexico, we are using nanotechnology to deliver agents that influence immune cells to actively participate in destroying tumor cells.

The picture represents the artificially grown biofilm developed on human tooth treated with nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are having antibiofilm effect to latch on the bacteria and disrupt their cellular morphology. The last remaining bacteria are the ‘survivors’ with many nanoparticles attaching to them (indicated as light blue). The extracellular polymeric matrix which is a protective niche in bacterial communities has been eradicated but just the few ones are colored as yellow. The entire system was initially dried in a critical point dryer.

Sandia Labs materials scientist Jon Madison says a key to his academic and professional success was listening to the adults in his life. “I don’t pretend to know everything,” he said. “I listened to the people who had my best interests at heart: my parents, my teachers, my mentors. I might not have understood or agreed with them, but just hearing what they were telling me provided opportunities later in life.”

Biochar is a highly porous carbon-rich material produced by pyrolysis of biomass. The SEM image shows micropores in a wood-derived biochar sample. Due to its unique properties such as high porosity, large surface area, and presence of negatively charged organic functional groups, biochar is used as adsorbent for the removal of various contaminants in soil and wastewater. Biochar is a simple yet powerful tool for soil and waste management, energy production, and C-sequestration to mitigate climate change.
