Arlington Hilton Hotel in the Washington DC, November 4-6, 2012. Website coming soon http://www.pnnl.gov/contacts/staffinfo.asp?uid=F1304EAEE4B29D42BA2AB25146954ADE http://www.pnnl.gov/nano/ Mike Schmoldt, PNNL's nanosafety subject matter expert, is currently conducting his Ph.D. dissertation research at Washington State University. He is characterizing aerosol exposures to researchers who handle unbound engineered nanoparticles (UNPs). Improved UNP exposure characterization verifies the effectiveness of controls and allows researchers to work safety with fewer restrictions. http://www.pnnl.gov/contacts/staffinfo.asp?uid=F1304EAEE4B29D42BA2AB25146954ADE http://www.pnnl.gov/nano/staff/ Ajay Karakoti is the primary author of "Probing the Size- and Environment-Induced Phase Transformation in CdSe Quantum Dots" featured in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jz201243t http://www.pnnl.gov/contacts/staffinfo.asp?uid=F1304EAEE4B29D42BA2AB25146954ADE http://www.pnnl.gov/nano/research/ Congratulations to two postdoctoral researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory who are being honored for their work on nanomaterials research. Dr. Vamsi Kodali and Dr. Gaurav Sharma will receive two of three Outstanding Postdoctoral Awards given by the Nanotoxicology Specialty Section at the Society of Toxicology annual meeting in March. http://www.pnnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=1127 http://www.pnnl.gov/contacts/staffinfo.asp?uid=F1304EAEE4B29D42BA2AB25146954ADE http://www.pnnl.gov/nano/ EMSL and PNNL research graces the cover of the NNI supplement to the President's budget, showing FIB/SEM images of a new series of materials developed at PNNL that have tiny 'cages' that can be used to trap carbon dioxide.
