12. let’s start! @nerdniteA2 Livetweet! #nna2
13. Welcome to the Nanoworld! Tour guide: Kristin Cederquist (Nanogeek Extraordinaire) X. Gao, U. Washington P. Diao, Beijing U.
15. What is the Nanoscale? • Defined as ≤ 100 nm • Nanoscale objects interact with light differently than their larger counterparts.
16. Electron Microscopes Transmission Electron Micrograph Scanning Electron Micrograph
17. Colloidal Gold and Silver • Beautiful colors result when particle size smaller than wavelength of light. • As particle diameter grows, they begin to resemble the coinage metals we know and love! Gol d Silve r
18. Roman Lycurgus Cup British Museum • Roman cup from ~300 AD • Dichroic glass • Embedded Au/Ag nanoparticles! • Other examples: stained glass windows, ruby glass, lusters on ceramics
19. Other Shapes of Nanoparticles Nanowires/rods, C. D. Keating, Penn State Nanocubes, Y. Xia, Georgia Tech Nanotubes, U. Gosele, Max Planck Inst. Colloidal “alphabet soup,” T. G. Mason, UCLA “Dr. Mario particles”, P. S. Doyle, MIT
20. Uses of Nanoparticles Coatings Diagnostics/Therapy Cosmeti cs
21. Nano-Tex Fabric • Nanoparticle coating makes for stain-resistant clothing • Technology marketed by Eddie Bauer, Maidenform
22. Cosmetics and Personal Care • Titanium and zinc dioxide nanoparticles absorb UVA and UVB wavelengths. • Nanoscale TiO 2 is colorless, unlike white bulk TiO 2 . • Silver a proven antimicrobial agent. • Greater surface area achieved with nanoparticles.
23. Diagnostics • Pregnancy tests take advantage of bright red color of gold nanoparticles. • Nanoparticles get caught in test window if high levels of growth hormone present. • Caught in control window to verify assay is working.
24. Nanoparticles in the Body? • Ingestion to cure diseases • If silver, leads to argyria • “Blue Man” Paul Karason • Internet scams claim colloidal solutions promote “well-being” and “good health”
25. What’s Next for Nano? Legislation • Companies not required to disclose nanoscale components. • Little regulation over where nanoparticles can/cannot be. Ongoing Research • Evaluations of toxicity. • Development of new diagnostic strategies and tests.
26. Questions?

40. Lie
41. Lie Factor
42. Lie Data Increase = 53% Graphical Increase = 783% Lie Factor=14.8
43. Truth
44. Data Change = 125% Graphical Change = 406% Lie Factor=3.8
45. Data Change = 554% Graphical Change = 27,000% Lie Factor=48.8
48. Context
49. Before stricter enforcement After stricter enforcement
52. NY MA CT RI
53. Principles of Graphical Integrity • Data Representations proportional to Data • #Dimensions in graph = #Dimensions in data • Real dollars, instead of deflated dollars • Provide context
54. Data-Ink
55. Data-Ink Ratio
69. Principles • Above all else, show the data • Maximize the Data-Ink ratio, within reason • Erase non-data-ink • Erase redundant data-ink • Revise and edit
