Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Scientists have for the first time filmed the real-time growth and contraction of Palladium nanoparticles, opening new avenues for utilising and recycling precious metal catalysts. Scientists have for ...

University of New Mexico researchers studying the health risks posed by gadolinium, a toxic rare earth metal used in MRI scans, have found that oxalic acid, a molecule found in many foods, can ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The next generation of robots may not look anything like the rigid, mechanical machines we’re used to. Instead, imagine a robot that moves more like an octopus or a human hand, ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

New research suggests that MRI with contrast may create nanoparticles that infiltrate your tissues. The research is preliminary, and more work needs to be done. Doctors stress that MRI with contrast ...

The sol-gel process is a widely used method for synthesizing nanoparticles with precise control over size, shape, and composition. This method converts a liquid precursor, or "sol," into a solid gel ...
