As electronic, thermoelectric and computer technologies have been miniaturized to nanometer scale, engineers have faced a challenge studying fundamental properties of the materials involved; in many cases, targets are too small to be observed with optical instruments.
Yolk-shell nanocrystals are one-of-a-kind materials with intriguing structural features including a permeable shell, inner space, and moveable yolk. Depending on the materials that are used in producing them, these nanocrystals can be utilized for a wide range of purposes.

Boris Yakobson, a materials theorist at Rice’s George R. Brown School of Engineering, and his colleagues believe that altering the contour of a layer of 2D material, and hence the interactions between its atoms may be easier than previously imagined.
In the United States alone, sepsis, or the body’s overreaction to an infection, strikes more than 1.5 million individuals and kills nearly 270,000 people every year. Many patients do not respond to the traditional therapy of antibiotics and fluids, and those who do recover face an increased risk of mortality.
