Research is being carried out for the use of dysprosium nanoparticles in advanced optical applications.
The numerous research activities based on nanoparticles have helped to pave the way for these particles to be widely used today. This article discusses the properties and applications of indium tin oxide nanoparticles.
Indium nanoparticles can be prepared using a simple hot-injection method and also certain laser ablation techniques. Their electrical properties lead to many potential applications in electronics.
Copper is a Block D, Period 4 element. It is a ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. The morphology of copper nanoparticles is round, and they appear as a brown to black powder.
While commercial and industrial nanotech activity in Nebraska is yet to take off, there appears to be a number of areas where nanotechnology could establish itself.
In order to maintain the current trend towards smaller and more efficient electronic devices, there is a strong drive towards producing smaller electronic components for these devices.

Associate Professor Vladimír Velebný, CEO, founder and R&D Director of Contipro, talks to AZoNano about Tuneable Electrospinning Technology for Nanofibers.
Nanoparticles can be designed for enhanced biological imaging, and can deliver cancer drugs to targeted locations within the body. The combination of these two functionalities into a single platform has been dubbed "theranostics" - a combination of therapy and diagnostics.
