Nanomedicines and Biologics: The dynamic nanostructures that impact safety and efficacy

The function of biostructures such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipid systems depends on nanoscale features such as shape, assembly, oligomeric state, flexibility, and supramolecular organization. Because these structures can change during processing, storage, and under physiological conditions, they must be characterized under realistic environments to understand how they impact safety and efficacy. Our technology measures the nanoscale structural attributes that impact stability, safety, and efficacy with minimal sample preparation and under native conditions

Polymers & Advanced Materials: Maintaining mechanical integrity across scales.

Polymer materials develop complex internal structures during synthesis and processing. Block copolymers form periodic nanodomains, semicrystalline polymers create lamellae within amorphous regions, and fillers disperse to tune mechanical, optical, and barrier properties. Flow, tension, and confinement further influence orientation and ordering across multiple length scales. Characterizing these multiscale structural properties and their evolution in situ remains a significant challenge in materials science. Our technology provides a unique capability to address this need.

Energy Storage: Optimizing battery cycling and longevity.

The performance of renewable energy and storage technologies is linked to nanoscale structure. Photovoltaics, catalysts, ion-conducting membranes, and battery electrodes rely on the controlled organization of particles, pores, phases, and interfaces. These architectures evolve during synthesis, manufacturing, and operation, influencing charge transport, ion mobility, reactivity, and degradation mechanisms. Our technology provides insight into material properties and functions by characterizing their structure at every stage of development, from formulation to end use.
