  2. 6. Operando Single Particle Catalysis - Combining a Nanoreactor and Plasmonic Nanospectroscopy

    Author : David Albinsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanofluidics; single particle catalysis; Cu oxidation; CO oxidation; dark field scattering spectroscopy; LSPR; microreactor; nanoreactor; heterogeneous catalysis; plasmonic sensing;

    Abstract : Heterogeneous catalysis is an important cornerstone of modern society with strong ties to the development of sustainable sources of energy and products. Catalysts are typically realized as supported metal nanoparticles that offer active sites that can accelerate chemical reactions by providing energetically more favorable reaction paths. READ MORE

  4. 7. Nanofluidic Scattering Microscopy for Single Particle Catalysis

    Author : Björn Altenburger; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; label-free methods; Platinum; Nanofluidics; Single nanoparticle catalysis; Particle trapping; Hydrogen Peroxide decomposition; Colloidal particles; Dark field microscopy;

    Abstract : Heterogeneous catalysis concerns material formulations – catalysts – that can assist a chemical reaction by improving its rate or selectivity, by lowering activation barriers and altering the energy landscape. The core of catalysts are often tiny metal particles that provide a large reaction surface at a small volume, as well as low coordination sites whose type and abundance depends on particle size and shape.

  5. 8. Competitive-Binding Based Optical DNA Mapping - From Bacterial Plasmids to the Human Genome

    Author : Vilhelm Müller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; genetics; single-molecule; nanofluidics; DNA; antibiotic resistance; optical DNA mapping; plasmids; competitive binding; fluorescence microscopy; bacteria;

    Abstract : Significant advances within the field of DNA sequencing have allowed us to study DNA at a level of detail that was previously impossible. However, dynamic genomic regions with a high degree of structural variations, while being linked to disease in humans and increased resistance to antibiotics, are still challenging to characterize.

  6. 9. Optical Mapping of Bacterial Plasmids

    Author : Vilhelm Müller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; competitive binding; optical mapping; fluorescence microscopy; DNA; plasmids; CRISPR Cas9; antibiotic resistance; nanofluidics; single-molecule;

    Abstract : Bacteria that have acquired resistance to antibiotics represent one of the largest threats to human health and modern health care. The genes encoding resistance are frequently spread via the transfer of plasmids, which are circular double stranded DNA molecules separate from the chromosomal DNA of the bacteria. READ MORE
