Biological and Biologically Inspired Functional Nanostructures: Insights into Structural, Optical, Thermal, and Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Quasielastic Neutron Scattering Reveals Anisotropic Water Transport in Smectite Thin Film

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Clay minerals, vital in advanced technologies, exhibit tunable interfacial properties. Quasielastic neutron scattering is used on oriented beidellite films to study charge‐induced anisotropy. Results reveal anisotropic water dynamics and orientation‐dependent diffusion.

Lake County, Tennessee, in the Heart of the New Madrid Seismic Zone

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Lake County, Tennessee, lies within the center of the New Madrid seismic zone, and thus is particularly vulnerable to seismic hazards. To better evaluate the seismic threat to Lake County, the stratigraphy and structure were mapped beneath the county.
