Engineers open door to big new library of nanoparticles

A new study expands the landscape of nanomaterials - and what we can do with them.

Novel hollow nanostructure is promising for new class of materials

Researchers created a hollow nanostructure for metal halide perovskites that would allow the material to emit a highly efficient blue light.

'Decoy' nanoparticles can block HIV and prevent infection

Cloaking nanoparticles in cell membranes draws HIV away from immune cells.

Scientists develop MOF nanomaterial to remove antibiotics in water

Researchers used a hydrothermal synthesis method to fabricate the nanomaterial that can work as an absorbent to remove norfloxacin, a kind of antibiotics in water.

New solution to capture microplastics before they enter waterways

A novel method utilizes nanocellulose structures for early particle identification. Nanocellulose would allow particles to be captured even before they enter waterways.

Researchers watch the dynamics of plasmonic skyrmions made from light on ultra-smooth gold platelets for the first time

Researchers have succeeded for the first time in filming light vortex patterns on the nanometer scale, which are named skyrmions after their discoverer Tony Skyrme.
