An international group of researchers has managed to double the strength of steel by incorporating a planar array of core-shell nanoparticles that consist of a Ti-C core and a Mo-V shell. The ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Semiconductor nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots (QDs), have been studied for their size-tunable electronic and optical properties for over 30 years. Applications have been ...

A transmission electron microscopy image of a core–shell cubic nanoparticle. The new core-shell nanoparticles are highly versatile and are used in printing sensor arrays that measure levels of ...

(Nanowerk News) Plastic pollution poses a growing threat to aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Of particular concern are nanoplastics, plastic particles less than 1,000 nanometers in size. Studies show ...

The synthesis of atomically precise and molecular pure nanoparticles has the potential to answer these questions, since these particles can be assigned with a definite formula, unlike colloidal ...
