Radioactive I-125 Monolayer Gold Surface Coating
A Radioactive Monolayer Gold Surface Coating for Short Range Cancer Therapy Tufts University investigator Charles Sykes has developed a novel way to coat gold surfaces with radioactive I-125 such that the low-energy beta particle emission is amplified by 600%. This technology is positioned to make significant improvements in short-range tumor radiation...

PDMS-Supported Ionogels and a Method to Produce such Materials
Ionogels are hybrid materials based on ionic liquids (salts that are molten at room temperature) and a solid support material. Researchers at Tufts have now created a series of novel ionogels which are supported by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and demonstrate excellent electrical conductivity and elasticity. The ionogels were generated using a one-pot...
