Many Silver Linings: A New Affordable and Sustainable Way to Produce Silver Nanoparticles
Researchers created a one-step flow-through plasma-reaction system for a cheaper and more sustainable synthesis of silver nanoparticles aimed at large scale production.
3D Graphene-Oxide Spheres for Supercapacitors
An effective synthesis strategy via a flash-freezing and freeze-dry approach is presented, to synthesis 3D GO structures that exhibit fully accessible hierarchical porous networks for supercapacitor applications.
Mechanisms of Carbon Nanotube-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Physicochemical Characteristic Perspective
Pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes can result in direct interaction with cells in the lung and result in an increased myofibroblast population thereby enhancing fibrogenesis, the severity of which is determined by physicochemical characteristics of the nanotubes and genetic susceptibility.
