An enhanced nanocomposite for the photocatalytic oxidation desulfurization

Researchers introduced an innovative strategy by compositing Cu2O nanoparticles with titanate nanotubes, which will result in the stronger visible spectral response and wider absorbance.

A new adjustable optical microprobe for the analysis and control of deep brain regions

Scientists have developed a new optical microprobe able to control brain electrical activity by projecting light on wide volumes or selected portions of the central nervous system in an very controlled fashion.

A nanoparticle based contrast agent for dual modal imaging of cancer

Researchers have developed nano-contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as optical imaging of cancer cells.

Lightweight steel production breakthrough: brittle phases controlled with nanosized morphology

High-strength, lightweight steels can finally be processed on an industrial scale, thanks to a breakthrough in controlling undesired brittle stages from production.

Using photoluminescent nanorods as ultimate probes of fluid flow

New research shows that instant detection of the collective orientation of the nanorods in a small focal volume enables the direct measurement and fast scanning of the local shear rate.

Tiny bubbles provide tremendous propulsion in new microparticles (w/video)

Researchers have developed an innovative technique using light and tiny bubbles to propel microparticles at forces many times greater than previously achieved.
