After long hours of work in the laboratory we know that the nanoparticle is made. I managed to work by myself with a new and complicated instrument, the Scanning Tunneling Microscope to study the nanoparticle. I also have an approximate of the size, 2nm, compared to the 20-50 nm. If I have to rank my self between 1-5 for my achieved goals it would be a 5 because not only me and my partners made our nanoparticle smaller, we found a way a technique to make them smaller. This is very important because now we are very close to start working with the troponin, the calcium binding protein related to heart failure, and hopefully we can sense heart attacks. As a fact, that would be great because heart attacks is the leading cause of death in Puerto Rico and in the United States.
