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 ...

A significant advancement in molecular engineering has produced a large, hollow spherical shell nanostructure through the self-assembly of peptides and metal ions, report researchers from Japan.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A self-assembled nanostructure with dodecahedral geometry was created using 60 metal ions and 60 peptide ligands (M 60 L 60), forming a stable shell with a 4.0 ...

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 ...

The researchers had previously created smaller structures with tetrahedral and cubic links. However, a more complex dodecahedral link emerged after they introduced further modifications to the ...

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

These vibrantly colored bugs were found preserved in amber — and they're from the Golden Age of Dinosaurs. The ...

Abstract: Based on a double-layered semiconductor nanostructure (DLSN)-InSb/GaSb, we propose a controllable electron-spin filter for spintronics device applications. Electron-spin polarization is ...

From smartphones and TVs to credit cards, technologies that manipulate light are deeply embedded in our daily lives, many of ...

XPS has been used for decades to examine surface composition and chemistry. But lesser-known approaches can reveal a range of ...
