Given the modifiable surface chemistry and size of many nano-sized particles, it is hypothesized that if NP characteristics associated with optimal clearance were well established, particles with ...

For instance, opaque substances become transparent (copper); inert materials become catalysts (platinum); stable materials turn combustible (aluminum); solids turn into liquids at room temperature ...

A team of scientists say they've flipped the script when it comes to how silicon interacts with light ... The journal ACS Nano published the study, which was conducted in collaboration with ...
