✦ Synopsis

at Austin are the winners of the 2004 George Kozmetsky Award for outstanding graduate research in nanotechnology. The Nanotechnology Foundation of Texas awarded Sitharaman the prize for the creation of a new class of contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). "I'm grateful and honored by this recognition... and look forward to the benefit of our research to diagnostic medicine," says Sitharaman. He has successfully encased Gd, the most commonly used MRI contrast agent, inside fullerene molecules to reduce the metal's toxicity and increase its effectiveness for MRI. This advance could potentially allow MRI of individual cells for the first time. Saunders has focused on solutionphase synthesis of nanocrystals and their self-assembly into superlattices.
