Engineering gas diffusion electrodes for electrochemical carbon dioxide upgrading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO2R) is increasingly recognized as a viable technology for the generation of chemicals using carbon dioxide (CO₂) recovered from industrial exhaust streams or directly captured ...
Virus-enabled design of high-performing, three-dimensional nanomaterials for electrochemical energy applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The accelerating pace of anthropogenic climate change has galvanized intensive interest in electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Developing electrode materials for electrochemical devices requires precision and ...
Dewdrops on the genome : regulation of gene expression by biomolecular phase separation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Human development and physiology depend on the coordinated function of thousands of cell types - for example, neurons, immune cells, and skin cells. Each cell-type contains an identical copy of the genetic material yet ...
Kinetic analysis of leaching reactions in multi-component mineral systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
The rational design of reactive systems requires the use of kinetic models of system behavior. However, the development of such models for multicomponent systems is complicated by conditions of mutual interference in ...
Computational approaches to understand the atomistic drivers of enzyme catalysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Enzymes readily perform chemical reactions several orders of magnitude faster than their uncatalyzed versions in ambient conditions with high specificity, making them attractive design targets for industrial purposes. ...
Driving forces of self-assembly in protein-polymer bioconjugates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Protein-polymer bioconjugates have shown great promise as high-performance biomaterials, with a diverse range of applications. Bioconjugation to a polymer allows the protein to maintain or even enhance its activity while ...
Catalytic conversion of methane to partially oxidized products over copper-exchanged zeolites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The selective conversion of methane to liquid oxygenated compounds is a grand challenge in catalysis. Although natural gas can be processed industrially in large-scale facilities, new catalytic processes are required that ...
Engineering non-immunoglobulin binding proteins for in vitro diagnostic Tests
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In 2016, nearly 5.5 million deaths were attributed to infectious and parasitic diseases. Although many of these diseases are preventable and treatable, resource-constrained regions often lack access to rapid and accurate ...
In vivo translation of near infrared fluorescent semiconducting single walled carbon nanotube sensors : theoretical and experimental applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
With the advent of chemical biosensing, a wide variety of biomolecules endogenous to the body are detected in vivo using a number of different methods. Most fluorescent based chemical sensing is primarily done as a form ...
Predictive modeling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon formation during pyrolysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), large molecules comprised of multiple aromatic rings like anthracene or pyrene, are a notable intermediate and byproduct in combustion or pyrolysis of hydrocarbon fuels. On their ...
