New project examines nanomaterials considering their entire life cycle

Nanomaterials and novel materials are being examined with regard to their human health and environmental risks.

Nanoparticles can aid in stroke therapy

Selenium nanoparticles could have a therapeutic effect on ischemic brain strokes by promoting the recovery of brain damage.

Photodoping in 2D materials for fabrication of logic devices

Scientists have discovered a method for photoinduced electron doping on molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) heterostructures for fabricating next generation logic devices.

Nanobody approach to targeting tumors and tracking their spread

Researchers develop nanosized antibodies that home in on the meshwork of proteins surrounding cancer cells.

Coating-boosted interfacial thermal transport for carbon nanotube array nano-thermal interface materials

By applying a DLC/TiN coating to vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, scientists have reduced the thermal contact resistance between the array and the heat sink by a factor of 50.
