The study's findings, published in Advanced Materials, report the novel heterostructured organohydrogels. The researchers tuned molecular diffusion by controlling temperature- and shear-driven ...

Abstract: We report the first demonstration of size selective epitaxial overgrowth of a colloidal quantum dot enabling production of PbS/CdS coupled quantum dots structures. Resultant above-band-edge ...

Splitting water molecules takes more energy than calculations suggest, and is a key roadblock to cheap hydrogen fuel production. Now, scientists have discovered why. When you purchase through links on ...

Tsukuba, Japan—The shapes of simple polyatomic molecules such as carbon dioxide and methane are characterized by a specific symmetry depending on the manner of linking of the atoms. Nano- to ...

Researchers at Curtin University in Western Australia have found that adjusting the shape of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals allows them to control how these nanocrystals interact with their ...

Dense E.coli bacteria have several similar qualities to colloidal glass. Colloids are substances made up of small particles suspended within a fluid, like ink for example. When these particles become ...

In a noteworthy first, a team of Princeton physicists has been able to link together individual molecules into special states that are quantum mechanically “entangled.” In these bizarre states, the ...

What is Colloidal Silicon Dioxide? Colloidal silicon dioxide, in other terms known as ‘colloidal silica’, is a polymeric form of silicon. The non-toxic, naturally occurring element silicon is listed ...

Colloidal quantum dots are opening paths for new optoelectronic and photovoltaic technologies. Emerging variants of these materials, such as double heterojunction nanorods (DHNRs), accelerate these ...
