Nanomaterial Project Douses Water Prize Competition

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Jingyuan Luo of Chandler, Ariz., was recently named the US winner of the 2007 Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP), an international competition for water-related research, for her work, “Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of Nanomaterials in Aquatic Species.” Her project explored the toxicity of nanoparticles by testing small carbon particles (fullerenes) and nano-zinc oxide particles on two different aquatic species, green algae and water fleas. Luo’s project was selected from more than 40 state SJWP winners at the national competition, held in Phoenix in June. The Hamilton High School student was...Read full article

    fullerenes
    Molecules composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid or tube. Also called buckyballs. Cylindrical fullerenes are called carbon nanotubes or buckytubes.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
