Sustainable Nano

Welcome to episode 3 of the Sustainable Nano podcast! In this episode, we talk about a recent research study that looked at how one type of battery nanomaterial affects bacteria called Shewanella oneidensis. We interview Mimi Hang and Ian Gunsolus, who were co-first authors of the study as graduate students in the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology. The Nissan Leaf is one example of an electric car that uses NMC in its batteries (image by Tennen-Gas) https://sustainablenano.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/nmc-091416.mp3   The study may sound familiar to regular blog readers – Mimi summarized it in this post and it got some media attention, which we wrote about here and here. Wrapping up our podcast launch week we will have one more new episode coming tomorrow (nanotechnology superheroes!). After that we will switch to an every-other-week schedule.
