An organic-inorganic nanostructure is a nanoscale structure (that is, a structure with single units sized between 1 and 1000 nanometres) composed of an intimate combination of inorganic and ...

The key innovation lies in the use of a polymer that can dynamically adjust the size of microstructures within particles in response to changes in the external environment. By leveraging the ...

A carnation-like nanostructure could someday be used in bandages to promote wound healing. Researchers report that laboratory tests of their nanoflower-coated dressings demonstrate antibiotic, ...

This is where nanostructured surfaces come in. In the early 2010s, it was shown that the naturally formed nanostructure on the wings of cicada and dragonfly wings can resist bacterial contamination.

The Nano-inXider offers researchers an understanding of the nanostructure of their samples whether in the form of gel, powder, solid, liquid, or thin-film with least sample preparation. The system ...

A joint research team has developed a biotemplating method that utilizes specific internal proteins in biological samples and has high tunability. The study is published in Advanced Science ...

The integration of scatterometry with complementary metrology techniques, such as atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy, will provide a comprehensive understanding of nanostructure ...

Quantum effects arise when particles shrink. As the size of a material is reduced to the nanoscale, the electronic and optical properties become dependent on the size and shape of the nanostructure.
