Laser ablation is a highly versatile technique that underpins the synthesis of nanoparticles with exceptional structural and functional attributes. By directing high-energy laser pulses onto a bulk ...

A materials science collaboration between UChicago PME engineers and Duke doctors could lead to shorter, safer procedures ...

A new review highlights a powerful, cleaner route to produce ultra-clean, customizable nanoparticles—key building blocks for artificial sensory systems that mimic human perception and power emerging ...

A self-propelled nanoparticle engineered through computer simulation could bring laboratory-grade cancer detection to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Converting electrical energy into laser light has traditionally relied on precisely aligned optical components that direct light back and forth within a cavity. While these ...

A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite a challenge. Of ...

NTA mainly uses the principle of scattering of light by a particle to locate it in real-time. The particle movements are tracked, and the size is measured using a high-speed video recording. 2 A laser ...

Precise control over crystallization is essential if the resulting crystals are to be suitable for use as optoelectronic materials, but achieving that control can be difficult. Producing lead halide ...
