Highlight in 2012

 

Our research on the modification of the pores inside an inverse opal scaffold for truly 3D cell culture (Zhang, Y.; Choi, S.-W. and Xia, Y., "Modifying the pores of an inverse opal scaffold with chitosan microstructures for truly three-dimensional cell culture", Macromolecular Rapid Communications 2012, in press) was highlighted on the cover.

 

Our research on the synthesis of Pd@Cu nanocubes (Jin, M.; Zhang, H.; Wang, J.; Zhong, X.; Lu, N.; Li, Z.-Y.; Xie, Z.; Kim, M. J. and Xia, Y., "Copper can still be epitaxially deposited on palladium nanocrystals to generate core-shell nanocubes despite their large lattice mismatch", ACS Nano 2012, 6, in press (it was highlighted at http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/tech/48779).

 

The Xia group just moved into the brand new lab and office spaces in the Molecular Science and Engineering Building (the "M" Building) at Georgia Institute of Technology. Xia holds a position of Brock Family Chair and Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) Eminent Scholar in Nanomedicine, with joint appointments in Department of Biomedical Engineering and School of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

 

Our research on controlling the synthesis of bimetallic nanocrystals (Zeng, J.; Zhu, C.; Tao, J.; Jin, M.; Zhang, H.; Li, Z.-Y.; Zhu, Y. and Xia, Y. "Controlling nucleation and growth of silver on palladium nanocubes by manipulating the reaction kinetics," Angewandte Chemie International Edition 2012, 51, in press) was highlighted in C&EN News, 2011, December 19, p. 36. It will also be highlighted on the back cover of the journal and in an accompanying Highlight article.

 

Our invited review article (Liu, W.; Thomopoulos, S. and Xia, Y. "Electrospun nanofibers ofr regenerative medicine," Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2012, 1, 10-25) was highlighted on the inside cover of the inaugural issue.

 

Our research on the use of gold nanocages as tracers for sentinel lymph node mapping (Cai, X.; Li, W.; Kim, C.-H.; Yuan, Y.; Wang, L.-V.; Xia, Y. "In vivo quantitative evaluation of the transport kinetics of gold nanocages in a lymphatic system by noninvasive photoacoustic tomography," ACS Nano 2011, 5, 9658-9667) was highlighted at http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/tech/48017.

 

Jie Zeng, a postdoc fellow and then a research assistant professor in the Xia group, recently accepted a position of Professor at Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, Hefei, Anhui, China, with a future faculty appointment in the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). He was also selected to receive the "100 Talent Program" (Bairen) Award.

 

Jianhua Zhou, a visiting student in the Xia group, recently accepted a position of Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Yat-Sen Sun University, Guangzhou, China. He was also selected to receive the "100 Talent Program" (Bairen) Award.
