When inorganic nanoparticles come together, their optical, electronic, and magnetic properties depend strongly on how they ...

Gold nanoparticle layers dynamically reorganize with temperature and compression, enabling tunable, responsive materials for ...

Mesmerizing videos offer a new look at the ways crystals form. The real-time clips, described March 30 in Nature Nanotechnology, show closeup views of microscopic gold particles tumbling, sliding and ...

Some key applications of gold nanoparticles include photonics, medicine and catalysis. 3 Gold nanoparticles have a high absorption cross-section in the visible and infrared regions, which can be tuned ...

(Upper panel) Experimental scheme. When a chiral gold nanoparticle is illuminated with near-infrared linearly polarized femtosecond light pulses, circularly polarized luminescence is observed in the ...

A new method uses gold to assemble multi-element nanoparticles under mild conditions, offering improvements in catalytic activity and long-term stability. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The drive to engineer ...

Sujan Manna, a doctoral student at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, studies materials chemistry, particularly nanomaterials and their structure-property-function relationships. He examines ...

Chemists have discovered that tiny gold 'seed' particles, a key ingredient in one of the most common nanoparticle recipes, are one and the same as gold buckyballs, 32-atom spheres that are cousins of ...
