An exciting new correlative microscopy suite from Zeiss featuring a FEG SEM and a super-resolution confocal microscope are being installed this week.
Eli’s work on new anti-fouling surface treatments has just been published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/am503570v?journalCode=aamick
We have published a new approach to enhancing luminescence effects in porous silicon microcavities: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/am500983r
We have just published a new coating method to produce antifouling coatings. Read it in ACS Biomacromolecules. http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bm500601z http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bm500601z

We have just commissioned a new JEOL JEM-2100F Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) with a field emission electron source for analyses at the atomic/molecule level in materials science, nanotechnology and life science.
Take a look at our paper just published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A on a porous silicon based photocathode for water splitting. Journal of Materials Chemistry
We have just published a review in Nano Today on biomaterials, drug delivery and biosensor applications of silicon nanowires.
In the Voelcker lab, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between nanostructured materials and human cells and tissues, and their biomolecular products. To that effect, we are developing nanostructured materials and surface chemistries, with a focus on electrochemically etched meso- and macroporous materials. These systems are then optimised for applications in biosensing, drug delivery, regenerative medicine and others.
