  3. Chemical, Biochemical and Biotechnology Systems Slide 2 of 2 • Bloodless Biosensing with Carbon Nanotubes •  Implantable capillary devices • Filled with carbon nanotubes • Monitor glucose levels without drawing blood • For diabetes and other biosensors Michael Strano, UIUC 4 1 2 3 1 Finger Implanted with2 Capillary Tube 3 Non-invasive near-Infrared Image 4 Compare

  4. Transport and Thermal Fluids Phenomena Slide 1 of 2 • High-Fidelity Numerical Modeling & Simulation of Fire Suppression  Predicts multiphase turbulent mixing processes over a wide range of time/length scales. •  Grand challenge of turbulence • modeling with reactions •  Multi-scale modeling on • both large and small scales Includes Sandia, Navy & NIST interactions plus excellent educational components. Paul E. DesJardin SUNY Buffalo

  5. Transport and Thermal Fluids Phenomena Slide 2 of 2 Nanocolloid Assembly and Dispersion by Quantum “Design” of van der Waals Forces  Nanocolloids have remarkable electrical, optical and reactive properties  Need to prevent aggregation by predicting and controlling van der Waals forces  Use solvent mixtures to “shield” nanocolloids to keep them stable Stable nanoparticles Groups of red atoms with co-solvent “shield” (blue) Darrell Velegol & Milton W. Cole Penn State Unstable (aggregated) particles
