Nanoparticles can stick to bacteria, but does more nanoparticle sticking mean more toxicity?
by Joe Buchman Have bacteria ever made you sick? If you answer no I’m not going to believe you. When most of us think about bacteria, we’re reminded of how miserable we were the last …
Ep 3. Nanoparticles in Electric Car Batteries: How Do We Study Sustainability?
In this episode, we talk about a recent research study that looked at how one type of battery nanomaterial affects bacteria called Shewanella oneidensis. We interview Mimi Hang and Ian Gunsolus, who were co-first authors of the study as graduate students in the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology.
Battery Behavior in the Biosphere: How We Probed Nanoscale Battery Materials Interacting with Bacteria
