Nanostructure morphology is independent of the size of the ZnS precursor (3 nm, 20 nm, or bulk) but varies systematically with NaOH concentration, producing compact microspheres, open nest- and ...

The third-order nonlinear refraction coefficient of nanostructure silica aerogel is almost five orders larger than the nonlinear (/spl chi//sup 3/) refraction of bulk material. The large nonlinear ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, adjusting the permeability of ...
