Gold May Be Key Element for Cleaner Drinking Water UCF researchers are using gold to develop a novel method to remove toxins from drinking water.
UCF Researchers Develop Nano-based Technology to Fight Osteoporosis The invention uses ultrasound-responsive nanobubbles to deliver treatment to targeted areas of a person’s body, avoiding side effects associated with traditional osteoporosis treatments, such as osteonecrosis (delayed healing of the jawbone) and gastrointestinal problems.
New $1.25 Million Research Project Will Map Materials at the Nanoscale The work can lead to new catalysts and other compounds that could be applicable in a range of areas including quantum science, renewable energy, life sciences and sustainability.
Long-lasting Disinfectant Promises to Help Fight Pandemics An alum and several researchers at UCF have used nanotechnology to develop the cleaning agent, which protects against seven viruses for up to seven days.
New UCF Nanotech Gives Boost to Detection of Cancer and Disease The technique uses nickel-platinum nanoparticles to increase the sensitivity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA, that is used to test for the presence of cancers, HIV and more.
UCF-Developed Seawater Battery is Safer for People and Environment Current lithium-ion batteries contain solvents that are flammable and toxic.
UCF Researcher Is Working to Extend Battery Life in Smartphones, Electric Cars Some of Assistant Professor Yang Yang’s latest work is focused on keeping a key, internal metal structure — the anode — from falling apart over time.
UCF Researcher Receives $1.7 Million NIH Grant College of Optics and Photonics Assistant Professor Kyu Young Han will use the funding to develop a new optical technology that could aid in the understanding of human protein linked to diseases.
UCF Infrared Emission Research Gets $2.5 Million Boost from Department of Defense The work has implications in creating nighttime camouflage and methods for anticounterfeiting, tagging and energy management.
UCF is Developing New Nanotech to Detect Food Fraud Adulterated food results in people paying more for their food than it’s worth, as sometimes foods are bulked up with less expensive filler products.
