A small team of engineers and geophysicists from Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Central Florida has found, via modeling, that creating millions of metal ...

In this study we demonstrate the novel properties of bifunctional Au/Ni nanorods in gene transfer. Deposition of the nanorods was achieved by template synthesis, which involves electrochemical ...

If humans released enough engineered nanoparticles into the atmosphere of Mars, the planet could become more than 30 K warmer – enough to support some forms of microbial life. This finding is based on ...

Morphologically distinct one-dimensional and two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials have attracted much attention in the last decade because of their potentially useful properties 1,2,3 and already ...

A recent study published in Advanced Optical Materials presents a novel method for depositing and patterning plasmonic gold nanorods (AuNRs) onto solid surfaces, specifically glass, using a ...

A material that is harder than diamond has been created in the lab, by packing together tiny “nanorods” of carbon. The new material, known as aggregated carbon nanorods (ACNR), was created by ...
