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

Nanoprecipitation, also known as solvent displacement or interfacial deposition, is a widely used method for the synthesis of nanoparticles. It involves the precipitation of a dissolved material from ...

A recent study published in Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications reported a green synthesis method for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using peel extract from the “Mollar de Elche” variety of ...

How do you keep a copper catalyst from losing its oomph? Just add a dusting of platinum, says a new study published in Nature Materials. A team of researchers, including scientists at the Department ...

The delivery of experimental materials to individual cells with exactness and exclusivity has long been an elusive and much sought-after ability in biology. With it comes the promise of deciphering ...

Inorganic nanoparticles are nanoscale materials composed of inorganic compounds, such as metals, metal oxides, and semiconductors. These nanoparticles typically have sizes ranging from 1 to 100 ...

In science and engineering, impressive technical feats sometimes draw on the arts—such is the case for a new study in Nature. First author Ahyoung Kim started taking pottery classes during the second ...

Across the U.S., hundreds of sites on land or in lakes and rivers are heavily contaminated with hazardous waste produced by human activity. Many of these places, designated as Superfund sites by the ...

The tiny fatty capsules that deliver COVID-19 mRNA vaccines into billions of arms may work better when they're a little disorganized. That's the surprising finding from researchers who developed a new ...
