Matthew Patitz, associate professor, plans to construct nanoscale structures using DNA sequences designed to fold into elongated slats that then form complex geometries.
CelluDot LLC, a startup founded by University of Arkansas engineering alumni, will be using a nearly $1 million National Science Foundation grant to optimize a nanotechnology product they developed as
CelluDot LLC, a startup founded by engineering alumni, will be using a nearly $1 million National Science Foundation grant to optimize a nanotechnology product they developed as doctoral students to mitigate herbicide drift, all in collaboration with the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
The all-in-one product has three functions: drift-reducing agent, volatility-reducing agent and a surfactant and is made from forestry waste, like sawdust, rather than petroleum-based chemicals.
