In 2011, Gallaudet University joined the Howard, Hopkins Prince Georges Community College PREM. Three Gallaudet students were mentored by Prof. Paul Sabila in summer research at Howard in Jason Matthews’ research group. In addition to research, the students took part in nanotechnology trai

Clark Atlanta University researchers supported by the NSF PREM project worked on supramolecular self-assembly of biofunctional-modified poly(2 methoxystyrene) on graphene nanoribbons. The bioactive polymer has attracted a considerable interest owing to its versatile properties as a bisosen

Clark Atlanta University and Georgia Tech. researchers supported by the NSF PREM project studied the electronic characteristics of multilayer epitaxial graphene under a perpendicularly applied electric bias.

Students in Bridge Program along with Dr. Ann Watts, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. A Pre-Freshman Bridge Summer Science Program at Morehouse College was designed to develop an advanced level of scientific  literacy among pre-freshmen science majors with the goal of incr

We have developed SERS based sensor for extremely toxic cyanide ion recognition quickly, selectively  and accurately without any tagging, at 110 ppt level. Download this highlight

Bio-conjugated Popcorn shape gold nanoparticle can pick multiple drug resistantSalmonella DT104 bacteria from food sample. A simple colorimetric test can detect Salmonella DT104 in 10 colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL level with high selectivity over other pathogens.

Advanced energy absorption systems have recently been developed, in which external work is converted into stored energy by infiltrating nanoporous materials with liquid phases. Three-dimensionally ordered mesoporous (3DOm) carbon is studied as a new nanoporous material matrix for energy s

Self-assembled block copolymers (see the upper inset) can accommodate nanofillers in given polymeric domains resulting in an ordered spatial distribution of nanoparticles, induced by the self assembly of block copolymers and the preferential trapping on the nanofiller (see the left figure

We work on an fabrication method for “artificial” photonic quasi-crystal. The fabricated Penrose-type photonic quasicrystal shows ten-fold rotational symmetry. The Laue diffraction pattern from the photonic quasi-crystal is observed to be similar to that of the traditional alloy quasi-crys
