A new technique in chemistry could pave the way for producing uniform nanoparticles for use in drug delivery systems.

Water-soluble is better - Polymeric carbon nitride nanoparticles for highly efficient photocatalysis

Scientists have succeeded for the first time in synthesizing colloidal nanoparticles of polymeric carbon nitride that are fully soluble in water and act as highly efficient and selective photocatalysts for light-driven chemical conversions.

Theorem explains why quantities such as heat and power can fluctuate in microscopic system

A theoretical study could have practical applications in nanoscale machine optimization.

Pulsed electron beams provide a softer touch for atomic-scale imaging

A new technique is providing atomic-resolution details about magnesium chloride, a material involved in the production of the most common plastic, polyethylene, and could help to create a path toward sustainable plastics.

Hourglass-shaped silicon nanowire photodiodes with increased absorption of light developed

Scientists propose vertical silicone nanowires with high sensitivity by using silicone and semiconductor process.

On your medicine's secret service

Whether a wound heals well under a dressing cannot be seen from the outside. Researchers are now enabling a view through the bandage à la James Bond. The refined application of terahertz radiation could promote the analysis of multi-layered tissues for medical purposes and be used for wound treatment or the diagnostics of blood vessel plaques.
