A new way to increase the sensitivity of detecting volatile compounds, especially chlorine, using metallic nanoparticles, has been developed by researchers from the Faculties of Chemistry and of Materials Science of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The work features in the Talanta journal.
MIPT scientists have performed ultra-precise evaluations of the optical constants of extremely thin gold films with thicknesses of 20-200 billionths of a meter in the optical range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Researchers have developed gold nanoparticles that can be coated to monitor the flow of blood in the smallest blood vessels inside the human body, where the size of the nanoparticles is not more than 100 nm.
Researchers at Rice University have investigated deeply into atom-thick catalysts that create hydrogen to pinpoint precisely where it is coming from. Their findings could speed-up the development of 2D materials for energy applications, such as fuel cells.
Researchers at the Rice University have used individual nanoscale nuggets of aluminum, copper, gold, silver, and similar metals—with the ability to tap energy of light and use it for various applications—and have found an innovative technique for developing multifunctional nanoscale structures.
Light-activated nanoparticles, also referred to as quantum dots, can provide a vital boost in effectiveness for antibiotic treatments used to fight drug-resistant superbugs such as Salmonella and E. coli, a new CU Boulder research reveals.
Researchers at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) have been successful in carving structures at the single molecule level by using an ultra-modern electron microscope. The method enables achieving an unparalleled resolution of 1 nm.
In the case of nanoparticle self-assembly, seeing is believing. Engineers from the University of Illinois are studying the interactions of colloidal gold nanoparticles within miniature aquarium-like sample containers to achieve further control over the self-assembly process of engineered materials.
A touch of asphalt could be the secret to high-capacity lithium metal batteries that are capable of charging 10 to 20 times faster than commercial lithium-ion batteries, according to Rice University scientists.
Graphene is single-atom-thick sheet of carbon that has gained global attention as an innovative material. A team of scientists from Kumamoto University, Japan, has found out that we can generate pressure by simply mounting graphene oxide nanosheets one over the other, where graphene oxide is highly identical to graphene.
