Nanoparticles exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to bulk materials, making them valuable in applications such as electronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, and biomedical sciences.

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical structures made of rolled-up graphene sheets. They can be single-walled (SWCNTs), with a diameter of around 1 nm, or multi-walled (MWCNTs), with diameters ranging from ...

In the early 20th century, the development of a catalyst for ammonia synthesis by the Haber-Bosch method took more than 10,000 experiments before it was successful. The development of new materials is ...

Composed of five or more elements in nearly equal amounts, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising catalysts due to their compositionally complex surfaces that can accelerate chemical ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists are developing new ways to observe and direct the construction of materials at the smallest scales. Recent advances in scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEMs ...

This roadmap examines how nanomaterials, electrocatalysts, membranes, and device engineering can advance renewable energy electrochemistry. It focuses on green hydrogen from water electrolysis, ...

On August 2, 2023, the European Union (EU) Observatory for Nanomaterials (EUON) announced that it published a study that systematically reviews and assesses alternative methods for the testing of the ...

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 ...
