Shuit-Tong Lee, Yao He, and colleagues use simple "kitchen chemistry" to make large batches of fluorescent nanoparticles in water (DOI: 10.1021/ja4026227). Fluorescent silicon nanoparticles exhibit remarkable optical, electrical, and mechanical properties, and are nontoxic, which makes them excellent ...
Ninety-nine percent of cancer drugs never make it to tumors, getting washed out of the body before they have time to do their job. How can we better deliver life-saving drugs? Cancer researcher Joy Wolfram shares cutting-edge medical research into nanopa
, the formation of a 3-dimensionally branched network of nanoparticles, is the critical step. There are some criteria that can serve as a rule of thumb to assess the quality of the aerogels obtained. The optical transparency of the aerogel is strongly connected to the colloidal stability of ...
And if any part of your body is not healthy, you can“grow” a new one in a laboratory.As you get dressed, you say to your shirt,“turn red.”It becomes red. In 2035,“Smart clothes” contain nanoparticles(纳米粒子) that carry electricity. 4 On the way to the kitchen, you want ...
This video details how to make highly efficient perovskite solar cells using the Ossila I301 ink with the following device stack: ITO-coated glass / SnO2/ I301 / Spiro-OMeTAD / Au. Various other perovksites and transport materials, along with references and examples of their uses, can be ...
Inorganic nanoparticles and their applications in cancer therapy Role of metal ions in biochemical processes Development of new inorganic pigments for industrial applications Reactivity of organometallic compounds in synthetic chemistry Applications of coordination chemistry in environmental cleanup Electrocatalysis ...
Self-cleaning glass - A company called Pilkington offers a product they call Activ Glass, which uses nanoparticles to make the glass photocatalytic and hydrophilic. The photocatalytic effect means that when UV radiation from light hits the glass, nanoparticles become energized and begin to break down...
Several nanoparticle systems have been used to aid in the formulation, encapsulation and release of active compounds extracted or derived from natural resources. The main types of these particles are liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, micro-emulsion, polymer nanoparticles, dendri...
NMs of the metal oxides CeO2, TiO2 (anatase), and Ag were provided by Applied Nanoparticles SL (Barcelona, Spain) in stable (colloidal) dispersion in aqueous media. For each chemical composition, three different morphologies and/or colloidal states were used to study a broader and more represen...
Not even the miniature world of nanoparticles is being left out, and researchers are even exploring the potential for organically produced solar panels. But if photovoltaics are such a wonderful source of free energy, then why doesn't the whole world run on solar energy? Solar Energy Costs ...
