Strong and Weak GO Flakes can be Combined to Produce Better GO Paper

According to presumptions, developing a super-strong material from nano-scale building blocks requires the highest quality building blocks to start with. However, that is wrong—at least when researchers work with “flakes” of graphene oxide (GO).

Researchers Develop New Method to Observe Single Nanoparticles Before, During, and After Electrochemical Reaction

It is hard to study single nanoparticles as they are very small. However, this is what exactly scientists are looking for to customize their properties. And they have come up with a new methodology—particle at the stick.

Nanodiamonds Doped with Silicon Could be Useful for Cell and Tissue Imaging

Researchers are very enthusiastic about diamonds—not the kinds that decorate jewelry, but the microscopic type that is below the thickness of a strand of human hair. These so-called “nanodiamonds” are nearly completely formed of carbon.
