Like other plasmonic nanoparticles, the aluminum nanocrystal core can function as a nanoscale optical antenna, making it a promising catalyst for light-based reactions. "Almost every chemical ...

suggesting that it is feasible to fabricate different 3D organizations just by controlling the nanocrystal particle size of the inorganic core." Chen points out that the ionic liquid components are ...

The researchers produced a variety of LEDs, including 573 nm and 619 nm emitters with nanocrystal core diameters of 3.6 nm and 5.2 nm, respectively. The devices showed no degradation in emission ...

Engineers have shown a new approach for making transistors and other electrical devices: sequentially depositing their components in the form of liquid nanocrystal 'inks.' The transistor is the ...

For their approach, the researchers used a technology called "ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification" on a sample of sensitized stainless steel. In this process, a hard pin taps the steel's ...

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a strange new nanocrystal material that can switch between gel and liquid states in response to temperature or other triggers.

The team ran a series of tests to ensure that the nanocrystal treatment is effective and safe. The first batch of experiments were on organoids – tiny living replicas of organs grown from human ...

Each nanocrystal acts like an antenna that receives and concentrates infrared heat radiation so that it turns into visible light. This process is known as second harmonic generation. So far ...

Irish drug delivery company Elan Drug Technologies (EDT) has announced that the first injectable product using its NanoCrystal technology has been approved by the European Commission. The European ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have used electron tomography to obtain images of nanocrystal superlattices. This new use of an established imaging technique looks set to provide researchers with ...
