The Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Brigham Young University (BYU) has chosen the NanoSight LM-10 system to support their research into the synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles, principally metal oxides. The BYU research team of Dr. Brian Woodfield are working on the development of an elegantly simple process that allows the group to make a
nearly unlimited array of well-defined inorganic nanoparticles that have controlled sizes from 1 nm to bulk. The particles are highly crystalline with well defined shapes (usually spherical but also rods). The method produces them with chemical and phase purities as high as 99.9999% while the particle size distribution is controlled to approximately ±10%. Dr. Woodfield projects with confidence that they can make industrial size quantities with manufacturing
costs significantly less than any other current technique.
