The synthesis of nanoparticles and nanomaterials for biomedical uses centres on the precise control of size, shape, composition and surface chemistry to meet stringent requirements for drug delivery, ...

This review examines how light-responsive bismuth-based nanomaterials could support CT and photoacoustic imaging, ...

LMU researcher Professor Alexander Urban and his team have developed a tool that could revolutionize the design of new materials. Synthesizer is a platform that combines automated chemical synthesis, ...

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical structures made of rolled-up graphene sheets. They can be single-walled (SWCNTs), with a diameter of around 1 nm, or multi-walled (MWCNTs), with diameters ranging from ...

In the early 20th century, the development of a catalyst for ammonia synthesis by the Haber-Bosch method took more than 10,000 experiments before it was successful. The development of new materials is ...

A research team has developed a high-performance coating material that self-assembles from 2D nanosheets, and which could significantly extend the shelf life of electronics, energy storage devices, ...

Metal cluster molecules are discrete compounds containing multiple metal atoms held together by metal–metal and metal–ligand ...

A new study has overturned the long-held belief in the field of nanomaterials that mixing multiple metals destroys structural integrity. The key findi ...

Working at levels as small as a billionth of a metre, researchers on an IAEA project have studied radiation’s effect on nano-architectures – the design and building of nano structures – and identified ...

Nanoparticles exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to bulk materials, making them valuable in applications such as electronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, and biomedical sciences.

A new review highlights a powerful, cleaner route to produce ultra-clean, customizable nanoparticles—key building blocks for artificial sensory systems that mimic human perception and power emerging ...
