Graphene: Properties, Synthesis and Applications
Since its discovery in 2004, Graphene has captivated the attention of the worldwide scientific community inducing academia, government and industry. The remarkable blend of mechanical, electrical, thermal and optical properties of graphene stem from its unique two-dimensional single carbon atom thick hexagonal honeycomb lattice. In this ENGTalk, Dr. Nikhil A. Koratkar from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute School of Engineering describes the structure, properties, synthesis and applications of graphene-based materials.

Graphene-based Lubricants for High-Performance Micro-machining Applications
Machining tools with diameters as small as a human hair require lubrication and cooling enhancing agents, just like their giant counterparts in the macro-world. In this ENGTalk, Dr. Samuel from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, School of Engineering, illustrates how Graphene platelets hold great promise for providing lubrication and cooling for micro-scale machining applications; with the ultimate goal of designing these nano-scale additives for high-performance green cutting fluids.

The Design of Nanoscale Polyvalent Therapeutics
Get an inside look at bio-inspired nanoscale therapeutics for combating deadly diseases like influenza and anthrax. Leveraging nature's-own polyvalency, Dr. Kane from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, School of Engineering, illustrates how this powerful, multi-layered approach enables the creation of a new type of inhibitor -- one that binds target proteins at specific sites where toxic enzymes attach in the body. The result? A 50,000-fold increase in potency in cell culture.
