Nanocrystal encapsulation and delivery of water-insoluble drugs

New research findings show that besides their applications in bioimaging techniques as phosphorescent markers, the new platinum nanocrystals may also have an application in biomedicine: to encapsulate water-insoluble drugs.

Optimizing the design of new materials

A new approach combines statistical inference, optimization theory, and computational materials physics to design new materials without large amounts of existing data.

Germanium telluride's hidden properties at the nanoscale revealed

Germanium Telluride is an interesting candidate material for spintronic devices. In a comprehensive study, researchers have now revealed how the spin texture switches by ferroelectric polarization within individual nanodomains.
