Podcast interview on Nano Matters with CSN faculty member Juan Pablo Giraldo. He discusses how nanosensers will be able to communicate their health status with plants via fluorescence/light intensity. This technology can be used to detect hazardous substances as well. Listen here.
Welcome to Prof. Juan Pablo Giraldo from UC-Riverside, who is joining the CSN as a seed grant recipient! Prof. Giraldo aims to understand how physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of nanomaterials affect their interactions with plant cellular structures, and he applies nanotechnology to study and engineer plant physiological mechanisms.
