Newton Lab Hosts Local Governor's Honors Nominee As part of their ongoing commitment to outreach, the Newton lab from the UGA Department of Chemistry recently hosted Copper Callahan, a 2024 Governor's Honors semifinalist in science from Clarke Central High School in Athens. Dr. Newton had met Copper's high school teacher, Mr. Robert Pulliam, and discussed Dr. Newton's interest in providing outreach and mentorship opportunities for local students. Mr. Pulliam then suggested that the Newton lab could be helpful in aiding Copper in preparation for his upcoming Governor's Honors selection process.

A Golden Time for Nanotechnology Gold nanocrystals of controlled size and shape have tunable optical properties that enable new science. Upon illumination with resonant light, these gold nanocrystals can not only scatter light but also generate plasmons (coherent oscillations of conduction band electrons). These plasmons, in turn, can produce local electric fields and heat. All these modalities mean that gold nanocrystals can serve as excellent contrast and imaging agents in aqueous matrices. In this talk I will describe the synthesis and shape control of these nano Type of Event: Departmental Colloquium Special Seminar Read more about A Golden Time for Nanotechnology
