Iron Nanocubes may Have Favorable Impact on Future of NO2 Sensing

Although they sound like a recent discovery, nanoparticles have been in use for centuries. For instance, the famous Lycurgus cup, crafted by 4th century Roman artisans, features dichroic glass, with silver and gold nanoparticles scattered throughout, giving the cup a red appearance when illuminated from behind and a green appearance when light is shining on it from the front.
