The Baby is Born! A.K.A. a Lot of Labor Pains

At the end of this week we finally finished making nano particles(our babies are born!)

The first of the last steps was to remove as much junk off of the top of the NP(nano particles) as I could. This took about a day of pipetteing.

When I collected as much of the liquid as I could they were all placed in the oven at 105 degrees to evaporate off the rest of the liquid.

When the particles where dry we took them out of the oven. The gold rods turned blue/green this is called blue shift theory and it means that they increased in energy!

 

They came a couple days late but boy am I so proud of them!

 

Also: Yes I am enjoying Jessica Jones, now that I’ve gotten through the second episode which was so dull!
