Aaron Coyner, Senior Capstone Seminar The use of solid polymers in lithium ion batteries has the potential to provide a safer, more reliable alternative to liquid electrolytes.
. 4:00 pm - Investigating the Effects of Glutaraldehyde on Lysozyme Crystal Structure with Atomic Force Microscopy Jace Mason, Senior Capstone Seminar Glutaraldehyde, a common cross-linking reagent used in biological sciences, was investigated for its role in stabilizing protein crystals for X-ray crystallography. A model lysozyme protein was used to grow crystals in a phosphate buffer solution at two pH values promoting the formation of a monocyclic tetragonal crystal structure. Optical

Perspective – The view through safety goggles Folks around Rieke Science Center – and sometimes in other parts of campus when I’m running late for a meeting – often see me donning a certain accessory that is quintessential to chemists worldwide: safety goggles. We all…
” and “taste” compounds to understand how atoms have arranged themselves into molecules. By shining ultraviolet (UV), visible, infrared (IR), microwave, or X-ray light at molecules, we can illuminate intriguing bits of information that help us develop better ideas of the structure of molecules. Thanks to the National Science Foundation, the atomic force microscope that professor Dean Waldow and his students use allow them to “see” large molecules by producing images of polymers or DNA adhering to a
