Argonne scientists see nanoparticles form larger structures in real time.
Ultrathin transistors can be spread like butter
Cornell scientists develop a novel process of spreading extremely thin organic transistors, and used synchrotron X-rays to watch how the films crystallize.
Magneto-electric nanoparticles deliver anti-HIV drug to the brain
Nanoparticles can cross the blood-brain barrier and send a significantly increased level of AZTTP to HIV-infected cells.
High-performance capacitors could come from manganese dioxide nanorods
Fabricated nanorods are not only straight and tall (at least by nano-standards), but also have an optimal crystal structure.
Major study into the environmental effects of nanosilver
Swiss researchers show that nanosilver is quickly transformed into less problematic substances on its way to the wastewater treatment plant.
