🧬👁️We developed glucose-powered single-atom nanorobots that boost stem cell therapy for corneal repair
✅ 2× uptake into stem cells
✅ Antioxidant & immunomodulatory
✅ Enhanced clarity in vivo

New from the Paxton Lab: Aiming to extract electricity from carbohydrates in food waste, this paper explores pH effects on electrical current produced by our modified electrodes using a model carbohydrate. Excellent work led by grad student @StanleyReb3849 https://t.co/RtDxIR9QoY

One more with the killer title slide. You inspired a lot of students. Maybe some will make it out to @IslandCampus

[Mark Anthony Olson @MARK_A_OLSON]

I had a great time meeting with faculty and students of @BYU Chemistry representing @IslandCampus and a huge thanks to @wfpaxton for the invite. #chemistry #science

[Wally Paxton @wfpaxton]

Delighted to host my friend @MARK_A_OLSON (TAMUCC) as a @BYU Chemistry Department Visiting Scholar. Great conversation and excellent talk on self-assembly and hydrochromism of supramolecular amphiphiles. Thanks Mark!

[Wally Paxton @wfpaxton]

@nanomotorupdate Props to the authors. This is not at all as easy as it looks!

[Wally Paxton @wfpaxton]

Wow! BYU is getting a medical school! https://t.co/vffH1KryXh

We are thrilled to present our latest paper in @ACSCentSci, in which we demonstrate how communication between liposome artificial cells leads to the dynamic spatiotemporal organization of compartmentalized DNA. @chemical_llopis @vanhest_lab https://t.co/2LRJE5cdAn

[Wally Paxton @wfpaxton]

New research from my lab: using enzymes to convert tiny molecular assemblies into artificial cell membranes. Fun collaboration with my friend @TreeSoftMatter led by grad student Nick Bair. #realtimechem https://t.co/2yiHuuFikZ

Wow! A Fantastic Voyage to Barcelona for #IBECNanobots. Many thanks to @SamuelNanobots and @IBECBarcelona for the creating and growing this Active community. And special thanks also @ayusmansen for excellent mentoring and continued friendship.

20 years ago Wally Paxton and Ayusman Sen wrote the first paper on #nanorobots. Today, at #IBECNanobots conference Samuel Sanchez has presented them with a commemorative award in recognition of their work. @SamuelNanobots @FCLP_Fundacio

Happy birthday @sirfrasersays ! Hope you get to do something fun with people you love. By the looks of activity on your account today, you're already off to a great start! https://t.co/vMFF3AQMcG

@awhspeed Definite possibility. The vapor pressure of mercury at room temp is much higher than the pressure I used this manometer to measure. Fwiw I don't think I've actually used anything that contained mercury since like 2001. It felt ... dangerous ⚠️

[Wally Paxton @wfpaxton]

POV: vacuum gauge is out but your colleague has a McLeod manometer and after 10 min on YouTube you master this 19th century tech.

*Concertation* means consultation or cooperation. *Concentration* is the amount of solute in a known amount of solvent. The difference is subtle, but it could make a big difference in your Experimental Section. 😝

Shout out to WSU chemistry for this nice tutorial: https://t.co/aEPtGXAVqP

Huzzah! Our paper about protective coatings we designed to evaporate in space just came out! Thanks to an amazing undergrad who led the project, the rest of the team for helping us pull it off, and NASA for paying the bills.https://t.co/2rKjfDK5X2
