One strategy for improved fire warning sensors uses thermoresistive materials to send a rapid and quantifiable electrical ...

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 ...

Inorganic nanoparticles are nanoscale materials composed of inorganic compounds, such as metals, metal oxides, and semiconductors. These nanoparticles typically have sizes ranging from 1 to 100 ...

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 ...

(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, ...

MOSS LANDING — Scientists have reported concentrations of heavy-metal nanoparticles in the marsh soils at Elkhorn Slough in the wake of the recent fire at a battery storage facility in Moss Landing.

As recent history proves, airborne respiratory infections are not to be trifled with. Now, a new sprayable coating applied to standard air filters might give us a leg up in the war against the ...

A new study has found why MRI scans may leave harmful metals behind in a person's body. The University of New Mexico (UNM) study explored health risks caused by toxic rare earth metal gadolinium, ...

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, ...
