#Prepare a figure of your nanowires from one of the TEM images that has been posted. The figure should be "publication ready," i.e. with all the traditional elements found for figures in a research article. If you'd like to examine other figures from TEM studies, consider some of the Belcher lab's publications, e.g. Nano Lett., 2005, 5 (7), pp 1429–1434 [[DOI: 10.1021/nl050795d]] or Nano Lett., 2010, 10, pp 2433-2440 [[DOI: 10.1021/nl1005993]]

#Read the introductory material for [http://openwetware.org/wiki/20.109%28F10%29:_Mod_3_Day_5_Battery_testing the battery testing lab,] and then, based on the mass of the active electrode material you've made, determine the number of mA to apply in order to fully discharge the battery in 10 hours. Use the loading factor of 51 mA/g, a value that is in accordance with previously tested gold nanowire electrodes, and assume 85% of the mass you measured for the nanowires is active material in the anode.

#You should be well on your way to your final presentations of a research idea. Review the required elements for your presentation that are noted [http://openwetware.org/wiki/20.109%28F10%29:_Mod_3_Day_6_Oral_presentations here.]
