Younan Xia received the Leo Hendrik Baekeland Award from
the North Jersey Section of the American Chemical
Society (ACS).
Our work on the synthesis of silver nanocubes and gold
nanocages is highlighted in the FY2005 Annual Report of
UW Techtransfer (p. 7) under the title “Applying
Nanotechnology to Cancer Detection and Treatment”.
Our work on the preparation of polymer hollow particles
with controllable holes in their surfaces (Sang-Hyun Im,
Unyong Jeong and Younan Xia, Nature Materials,
2005, 4, 672-675) is featured as a cover article.
It was highlighted as Nanotech News on the website of
the National Cancer Institute (NCI, September, 2005).
It was also selected as a breakthrough in macromolecular
chemistry in 2005 by the German Chemical Society (see,
Nachrichten aus der Chemie, p. 295).
Our work on gold nanocages and their biomedical
applications (Jingyi Chen, Benjamin Wiley, Zhi-Yuan Li,
Hu Cang, Dean Campbell, Fusayo Saeki, Lelie Au, Jennifer
Lee, Xingde Li and Younan Xia, Advanced Materials, 2005,
17, 2255-2261) was highlighted as Nanotech News
on the website of the National Cancer Institute (NCI,
September, 2005).
Our work on gold nanocages and their bioconjugation for
use as optical imaging contrast agents (Jingyi Chen,
Fusayo Saeki, Benjamin Wiley, Hu Cang, Michael Cobb, Zhi-Yuan
Li, Leslie Au, Hui Zhang, Michael Kimmey, Xingde Li and
Younan Xia, Nano Letters 2005, 5, 473-477)
was highlighted as Nanotech News on the website of the
National Cancer Institute (NCI, February, 2005) and in
Biophotonics International (2005, July, pp. 20-21).
Benjamin Wiley was selected to receive the IGERT
Graduate Student Fellowship from the Center for
Nanotechnology at the UW.
Our work on the collection of electrospun nanofibers
with patterned electrodes (Dan Li, Min Ouyang, Jesse
McCann and Younan Xia, Nano Letters, 2005, 5,
913-916) was featured under Research News in
Materials Today (2005, June, p. 12)
Younan Xia and Naomi Halas co-edited a special issue on
the surface plasmonic properties of metallic
nanostructures for the Materials Research Society (MRS)
Bulletin, May, 2005.
Our work on electrospinning of nanofibers with
core-sheath, hollow, or porous structures (Jesse McCann,
Dan Li and Younan Xia, Journal of Materials Chemistry,
2005, 15, 735-738) was featured on the journal
cover.
Our work on the polyol
synthesis of silver nanostructures with well-controlled
shapes (Benjamin Wiley, Yugang Sun, Brian Mayers and
Younan Xia, Chemistry: A European Journal, 2005,
11, 454-463) was featured on the journal cover. |
