Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are widely considered the gold standard for nanoparticle characterization. However, choosing which to employ is a complex process as both techniques provide similar but distinct analysis.

As nanotechnology continues to advance in almost every scientific field, its application in industry has been particularly valuable through the growing use of nanocomposites. A nanocomposite can be a one, two or three-dimensional matrix in which particles (<100 nm in size) have been added to improve a particular property of the material. The presence of these composite materials are able to reinfo

The United Arab Emirates is located between Saudi Arabia and Oman in the Middle East. The total area of the country is 83,600 km2 and it had a population of 9,68m in 2019.
Crystalline nanoparticle arrays and superlattices can be synthesized with perfectly defined geometries using appropriate electrostatic, hydrogen bonding or biological recognition interactions.
Nanoelectronics, composite materials and hydrogen fuel cells are just a few applications a new three dimensional porous nanostructure could make possible. Researchers from Rice University have made a computer simulation of the material by stacking extremely thin sheets of boron nitride in parallel layers.
