Ultrabright Fluorescent Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles
Nanophobic or Nanophilic?
Carbon nanotubes have the potential to unlock effective treatments for that most delicate of systems – the mammalian central nervous system. But conflicting studies and reports on potential toxicity underline the need for careful, standardized, and thorough research protocols.
Book Review: Charge and Exciton Transport through Molecular Wires
New publication brings together theory and experimental results in molecular electronics – can we go beyond Moore’s law? Emanuele Orgiu & Paolo Samorì of ISIS tell us more
Prevent Nanograss Collapsing: Strengthening Nanostructures
One-dimensional nanostructures like nanowires, nanobelts, and nanotubes attract considerable interest. However, common techniques to separate the nanostructures from the template can cause the structures to collapse.
Heavy Metal Free Environment with Plasma-Modified Carbon Nanotubes
Scientists at Institute of Plasma Physics, CAS, have developed a way to modify multiwalled carbon nanotubes to enhance their dispersion properties and adsorption capacities
