A view into how nanoscale building blocks can rearrange into different organized structures on command is now possible with an approach that combines an electron microscope, a small sample holder with ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

A patent-pending innovation created and validated in Purdue University's College of Engineering could strengthen ...

Metallic nanoparticles, consisting of a few to several thousand atoms or simple molecules, are attracting significant interest. Electrodes coated with layers of nanoparticles (nanolayers) are ...

In-situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy electrodeposition of PtNi nanoparticle films on a carbon electrode during cyclic voltammetry. The electron beam (here in green color) illuminated ...

Breast cancer persists as one of the most widespread and formidable malignancies globally, necessitating the development of innovative therapeutic modalities to enhance patient prognoses. This study ...

What is Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis? Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is a powerful technique for characterizing nanoparticles in solution. It combines laser light scattering microscopy with a ...

A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite a challenge. Of ...

All chemicals used in this study were of analytical grade and were commercially supplied. Silver nitrate (AgNO₃, ≥ 99.9%, Merck) and plant extract prepared from Gilaburu (Viburnum opulus L.) fruit in ...

Star-shaped vanadium hydroxide nanoparticles show that changing a material's shape from sheets to stars shifts its energy storage from battery-like to capacitor-like behavior. (Nanowerk News) When ...
