Researchers from the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed silicon nanowires that can convert sunlight into electricity by splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, providing a greener alternative to fossil fuels.
A near-infrared (NIR)-II-responsive carbon-coated iron oxide nanocluster has been reported recently by Professor Hui Wang collectively with Professor Wenchu Lin and associate Professor Junchao Qian from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Researchers from the Disruptive & Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision (DiSTAP) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) of Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore and their collaborators from Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL) have developed the first ever nanosensor that can detect and distinguish gibberellins (GAs), a class of hormones in plants that are important for growth.
Electrocatalysis is an interface-dominated process, in which the catalyst activity is highly related to the adsorption or desorption behaviors of the intermediates or reactants, or products on the active sites.
The fluid-like movement of electrons in graphene was directly observed by physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the first time at a nanometer resolution.
A fuel cell is a type of electric power generator that can convert hydrogen gas into energy while only emitting water as waste
When electrical impulses are applied to nanomaterials in electro-thermal treatment, cancer cells can be precisely targeted with excellent biocompatibility.
Since the 1970s, scientists have known that copper has a special ability to transform carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals and fuels.
Plasmonic nanorods respond differently to light waves that move in the same direction, called polarized light. Depending on how they are positioned and how the light waves are polarized, a chiral response can occur.
