Building a sample platform for live cell imaging
Jeff Jessing, Fort Lewis College
Imaging high resolution live tissues has long been a goal to better understand the development of tissue specific disease and tissue biology. Current imaging techniques allow for live imaging, but not at high resolution or high resolution imaging, but not of living cells.

Donor-Acceptor Binary Organic Compounds – Charge Transfer (CT) Complexes
Tatiana Timofeeva, New Mexico Highlands University
Charge transfer materials are important components of organic electronics for applications in OLED, solar batteries and transistors. Structure-properties relations for this series of materials, including shapes of their crystals, were studied experimentally and computationally in connectio

Machine-Learning Algorithms for Nano-Material Characterization
Gil Gallegos, New Mexico Highlands University
The finite difference-time domain (FDTD) models for clusters of known substrate nano-particle distributions were developed. Additional models utilizing open source finite element analysis (FEA) software (ELMER) and commercial FEA software (COMSOL) were also developed. These models will be

Self-assembling polymer/clay nanocomposites applied to fruit for shelf life extension
Maedeh Dabbaghianamiri, Carlos Corona, G. W. Beall; Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization Program, Texas State University
In previous work Texas State University team members discovered a self-assembling nanocomposite formed between polyvinylpyrrolidone and montmorillonite clay that exhibits high gas barrier properties. This self assembling phenomena has been extended to other polymers including polyvinyl al

Using Iron with Oxide Nanosheets to Enhance Electrochemical Lithium-Ion Charge Storage
Niu, S.; McFeron, R.; Godínez-Salomón, F.; Chapman, B.S.; Damin, C.A.; Tracy, J.B.; Augustyn, V.; Rhodes, C.P. Enhanced Electrochemical Lithium-Ion Charge Storage of Iron Oxide Nanosheets, Chemistry of Materials, 2017, 29, 7794-7807
Research at Texas State University (MSI) and MSREC partner NC State demonstrated that iron oxide (g-Fe2O3) could be synthesized as a nanosheet architecture which resulted in significantly higher Li-ion capacities than nanoparticles; this work can provide enhanced cathodes for lower cost Li

New Electron Extraction materials for Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells
Luis A. Echegoyen (Univesity of Texas at El Paso)
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs), have shown a remarkable increase in photoconversion efficiency (PCE), from 3.8% in 2009, to 22.1% in 2016. The good electron transporting and solution processable properties of fullerene derivatives make them the most popular electron transporting materials
