Researchers Describe Two Unique Structures for Gold Nanocluster

Diamonds and graphite are chemically the same yet physically different, just like how two minerals can differ from each other, one hard and translucent and the other soft and opaque. The changing arrangement of carbon atoms provides a unique feature to both diamonds and minerals.

New Strategy to Decontaminate Polluted Soils Using Nanoparticles and Bioremediation

Researchers at the Basque Institute of Agricultural Research and Development Neiker-Tecnalia are working on a strategy to cure soils polluted by organic compounds containing chlorine (organochlorine compounds). The novel process involves integrating zero-iron nanoparticles in bioremediation methods. The companies Ekotek and Dinam, Gaiker-IK4 and the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country are also taking part in this project called as NANOBIOR.

MIT Research Shows Nanoparticle Catalysts Could Reduce Need for Precious Metals

Materials that increase the speed of a chemical reaction without being used up in the process, called catalysts, lie within many technologies, right from vehicle emissions-control systems to high-tech devices like electrolyzers and fuel cells. Unfortunately, catalysts are often costly as they generally contain one or more noble metals, like palladium or platinum, both of which have limited supplies.
