Zeta potential is a key indicator of the stability of colloidal dispersions and nanoparticle suspensions. It measures the electrical potential difference between the bulk of the liquid and the ...

Noble metals, such as gold and platinum, show great potential in renewable energy. Very tiny pieces of noble metals, known as nanoparticles, can increase the rate of a chemical reaction within ...

Learn how copper additives (particularly copper oxides, salts, and nanoparticles) form tribofilms, reduce friction, and ...

Researchers design a solar harvester with enhanced energy conversion capabilities. The device employs a quasiperiodic nanoscale pattern, meaning most of it is an alternating and consistent pattern, ...

The strength of a Raman signal is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength of the scattered light. In practical terms, this means that the longer the excitation wavelength used to ...

Layered drug nanoparticles can now be produced efficiently and at scale using a microfluidic method that eliminates purification and improves consistency. Since its adaptation to nanoscale materials, ...

Adding just the right dash of nanoparticles to standard mixes of lubricants and refrigerants could yield the equivalent of an energy-saving chill pill for factories, hospitals, ships, and others with ...

Using DNA structures as scaffolds, scientists hae shown that precisely positioned gold nanoparticles can serve as efficient energy transmitters. Using DNA structures as scaffolds, Tim Liedl, a ...

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

(a) Conventional chimeric VLP vaccine requires first producing fusion viral proteins conjugated with self-assembling modules by challengeable gene design and expression, and then carrying out ...
