(4) The nanospheres were separated by centrifugation in a TCL-16C high-speed centrifuge at 14 000 r/min for 20 min (Shanghai Anting Scientific Instrument Factory, Shanghai, China). (5) The ...

The hollow gold nanospheres have a unique set of properties, including strong, narrow and tunable absorption of light. A new metal nanostructure developed by researchers at the University of ...

The structure assembles spontaneously in water without external templating. The resulting nanospheres exhibit a layered, spherical architecture where each layer is spaced roughly 3.5 to 4.4 nanometers ...

Hollow gold nanospheres equipped with a targeting peptide find melanoma cells, penetrate them deeply, and then cook the tumor when bathed with near-infrared light, a research team led by ...

Tiny plastic spheres, called nanospheres, could help take the sting out of chemotherapy by delivering anticancer drugs more effectively and safely, according to Australian researchers. When ...

Gold nanospheres that bake tumours to death by attracting the heat of low-powered lasers have been developed by scientists in California. "You could send a person home, have them shine a laser on ...

"As soon as I looked at the microscope images, I noticed that there were these little nanospheres and they were iron-rich, and they have lots of different elements in them besides iron—silicon, ...

A team of scientists now thinks they've finally found the answer: tiny nanospheres rich in iron, silica, calcium, aluminum, and sodium, among other elements. But why has solving this mystery taken ...

So researchers are working to image and characterize the nanospheres to better understand their properties. For the titanium dioxide particles to use light effectively, their size and shape need ...

Scientists at the DICP (Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics) may have found the solution: carbon nanospheres. These nanospheres work like battery cathode nanoreactors. Being decorated by Fe1-xS ...

Technologies that mimic the nanospheres’ structure could one day inspire more efficient solar energy or bio-friendly paints, the scientists say. “I’ve often wondered what’s going on with ...
