A team of researchers from North Carolina State University and the Air Force Research Laboratory have found out that a method meant to coat nickel nanoparticles with silica shells in reality fragments the material – forming a small core of oxidized nickel surrounded by smaller satellites embedded in a silica shell.
In the pursuit of miniaturization, researchers from the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), in South Korea, have partnered with researchers at the University of Birmingham and at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) to create flat lenses with the thickness of a credit card and with adjustable features.
Thanks to Lucas Güniat, the secrets of nanowires—the building blocks of quantum computers— have now been revealed. This accomplished speaker reported the results of his PhD research on nanowires in EPFL’s “My Thesis in 180 Seconds” contest.
Distinctive and attractive characteristics of carbon nanotubes such as high electrical conductivity, exceptionally lighter weight, and greater stability than steel will be suitable for a number of applications such as high-performance plastics, ultra-lightweight batteries, and medical implants.
Jason Trelewicz has been interested in the field of materials science since he was a young child, when his father — an engineer — would bring him to work. In the materials lab at his father’s workplace, Trelewicz would zoom in on material surfaces by using optical microscopes, intrigued by all the unique features he would see as light interacted with varied samples.
An international team from the Universities of Vienna, Tel Aviv and Duisburg-Essen has developed a nanomechanical hand to show the time of an electronic clock, by spinning a tiny cylinder using light.
Researchers from Imperial College London have developed a new method to write desired magnetic patterns onto nanowires, which could help computers to imitate the way human brain processes information. This new way to write magnetic information could present new opportunities for hardware neural networks.
For the first time, researchers from the Northwestern University research team have captured the collision and fusing of organic nanoparticles on video.
Researchers from RUDN University (Russia) have invented a new method for converting titanium nanoparticles into an efficient substance capable of removing toxic phenol present in water, even in visible light. The results of the study have been reported in the Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics.
While the simplest definition of a “theranostic” nanoparticle is a nanoparticle that merely has a therapeutic moiety and imaging or diagnostic moiety on the same particle, the authors of a review article published in SLAS Technology pay more attention to and highlight the platforms where disease monitoring and self-reporting is possible in real-time because of the synergistic nature of the components present on the theranostic particles.
