Shape Matters in the Case of Cobalt Nanoparticles

Shape is turning out to be a particularly important feature of some commercially important nanoparticles-but in subtle ways. New studies* by scientists at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) show that changing the shape of cobalt nanoparticles from spherical to cubic can fundamentally change their behavior.
