This transmission electron microscopy image shows that nanospheres created by a patent-pending process at North Dakota State University, Fargo, are not agglomerated. Developed by a research team led by Dr. Victoria Gelling, the uniformly-shaped, polymer-based nanospheres could be used in electronics, manufacturing, and biomedical sectors. The process developed at NDSU allows scale-up of operation to high production levels, without requiring specialized manufacturing equipment.
