Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) generate near-infrared fluorescence that is useful for biomedical and environmental optical sensing. They can be colloidally suspended by π-electron-rich biopolymers like DNA that self-assemble onto their surfaces. T ...

Metal azides are highly energetic materials that release a large amount of gas upon detonation. They also release metal particles, generating an aerosol. The most common azide is sodium azide (NaN3), which is used nowadays in car airbags. If the decomposit ...

Multimetallic nanoparticles are of interest as functional materials due to their highly tunable properties. However, synthesizing congruent mixtures of immiscible components is limited by the need for high-temperature procedures followed by rapid quenching ...

The application of organic-inorganic nanocomposite membranes allows for a synergy between the desirable thermal and mechanical properties of inorganic materials with the reactivity, dielectric properties, durability, flexibility, and processability of the ...

Proximity-induced superconductivity in a ferromagnet can induce Cooper pairs with a finite center-of-mass momentum and stabilize Josephson junctions (JJs) with pi phase difference in superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructures. The emergence ...

SiO2/ZnO core/shell and composite sensors with 22-97 wt% ZnO content were synthesized by a facile ultrasonicassisted deposition-precipitation method. As for the core, uniform silica spherical particles were synthesized by a microemulsion technique. The pre ...

Bi2WO6 is considered an effective photocatalyst, even under the visible part of the solar spectrum, and recent advances in the modification of its structure leave promise for harnessing its enhanced effectiveness. Our experimental E. coli disinfection resu ...

The effects of the finite size of the simulation box in equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are investigated for prototypical superionic conductors of different types, namely, the fluorite-structure materials PbF2, CaF2, and UO2 (type II), and the a ...

The form and structure of biological tissues define their function. The emergence of tissue morphology during development is one of the wonders of nature. Cells mechanically probe and manipulate their surroundings while constructing structures from the ext ...

At ambient pressure, lithium molybdenum purple bronze (Li0.9Mo6O17) is a quasi-one-dimensional solid in which the anisotropic crystal structure and the linear dispersion of the underlying bands produced by electronic correlations possibly bring about a rar ...

We report on ultrafast transient absorption (TA) studies of surface plasmon-excited similar to 25 nm-diameter Au nanoparticles in solution, monitoring the response of the surface plasmon resonance in the visible region (1.7-3.0 eV) and that of the inter- a ...

We demonstrate full-field quantitative ptychographic imaging using tabletop high harmonics to visualize the extended structure of silica close-packed nanosphere multilayers with

Eigenmodes are central to the study of resonant phenomena in all areas of physics. However, their use in nano-optics seems to have been hindered and delayed for various reasons. First, due to their small size, the response of nanostructures to a far-field ...
