Researchers use ion beam irradiation during exsolution to precisely engineer nanoparticle catalysts for clean energy apps. Controlling size, composition and placement, the engineered nanoparticles have superior catalytic activity.
Physicists have stacked five flakes of graphene in a specific order. The resulting material can then be tuned to exhibit three important properties never before seen in natural graphite.
New observations with a scanning tunnelling microscope reveal the effect in one-dimensional wires floating on graphene. Scientists for the first time directly measured the so-called Kondo effect, which governs the behaviour of magnetic atoms surrounded by a sea of electrons.
A new method promises to treat pancreatic carcinomas with more accuracy and with fewer side effects than current cancer therapies. Nanoparticles transport the active substance Gemcitabine in large quantities directly into the tumor.
Scientists developed an innovative bioengineering approach using genetically modified bacteria; these bacteria can incorporate protein cages around protein crystals.
