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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Creating catalysts that can operate efficiently and last a long time is a big barrier to taking fuel-cell technology from the lab bench to the assembly line. The precious metal ...

A class of ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles developed at Cornell is showing an unexpected ability to rally the immune system against melanoma and dramatically improve the ...

Occasionally referred to as ‘colloidal gold,’ gold colloid is a suspension comprising sub-micron gold nanoparticles suspended in a solvent - most commonly water. Gold nanoparticles' distinct ...

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 ...
