applications. Molecules called ligands bind to the surface of nanocrystals during their synthesis. Previous studies have demonstrated that these ligands can be exchanged, resulting in an alteration of nanocrystal characteristics—one of which being photoluminescence (PL) intensity. We synthesized both colloidal CdSe nanocrystals and nanobelts then exchanged their surface ligands with pyridine and dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). This enabled us to look at whether ligands have similar effects on nanocrystal PL

an increase in reactive oxygen species. This observation correlates with the experimental determination that when cells lack the ability to repair certain types of oxidative damage as a result of gene knockout, we see an increase in replicative mutation rates and adaptive mutation frequencies when compared to the wild type cell line. 2:55 pm - Synthesis of a 2,5-Disubsituted Tetrazole for Bioorthogonal Terpene Detection via Photoclick Chemistry Angelina Gladchuk, Senior Capstone Seminar

Unlocking the Magic of Colloidal Nanocrystals In the world of science, significant discoveries can come in tiny packages. Picture being able to make and change things so small they’re nearly invisible. That’s where colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals shine. These super small wonders are made in solution and grown to have different sizes… August 11, 2023 Research & Academics

weak direct relationship between separation distance and the difference of the metallicity of individual elements.  We study additional binary systems and metallic elements to either verify or refute this trend.   2:30pm Alexander Johnson – “Detecting Star-Forming Regions in the Outer Galaxy” Star formation in the outer Galaxy takes place under more extreme conditions than the rest of the Milky Way. We observe 12 potential star-forming regions in one spiral arm and identify radio continuum and
