Trace chloride alters gold surface chemistry by forming a short-lived covalent layer of chloride ions on gold atoms.

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 ...

A recent study has shown that a fraction obtained from lignin, an organic polymer responsible for the rigidity of plant cell walls, was able to improve the performance of nanoparticles with herbicide.

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, ...

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 ...

As drug-resistant infections continue to rise, researchers are looking for new antimicrobial strategies that are both ...

(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 ...

A promising eco-friendly energy harvesting method called solar-thermal technology has a crucial role to play in resolving the crisis of fossil fuel energy. These images show the device’s solar-thermal ...
