DNA strands anchored to the surface of nanoparticles allow researchers to assemble the particles into three-dimensional crystalline lattices. Such control allows researchers to make new materials with ...

Fluorescing nanoparticles are helpful tools for biological imaging, allowing researchers to spot hard-to-see phenomena through a microscope by lighting up when hit with laser light at the correct ...

The novel Al-SiO 2 ceramic coatings with good densification ability and oxidation resistance due to the stabilizing effect of Al on the K⁺ ion migration and coating structure. Recently, a team of ...

One scientist would like to put sand into your computer. Not beach sand, but silicon dioxide nanoparticles coated with a high dielectric constant polymer to inexpensively provide improved cooling for ...

Nanoparticles, extremely tiny particles measured in billionths of a meter, are increasingly everywhere, and especially in biomedical products. Their toxicity has been researched in general terms, but ...
