Aluminum-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles efficiently degrade methylene blue dye in sunlight, offering a sustainable solution ...

Once the pineapple leaf-based nanoparticles had adsorbed copper, they could be ground into a powder that forensic ...

A simple tweak to zinc oxide nanoparticles - adding just 2 % silver - has created one of the most responsive hydrogen sensors ever reported. Its fast, accurate detection could overhaul hydrogen safety ...

Alcina Johnson Sudagar received funding from the European Union's Marie Curie Horizon 2020 program for this work. Part of the work has been patented, Polish patent valid since August 2020 (Patent no: ...

TEM works by accelerating electrons, typically with energies between 80 and 300 kV, and directing them through a specimen thin enough for electron transmission. Because of their very short wavelength ...

Aim: This study explores the synthesis and characterization of ZnO-based polymer nanocomposites (ZnO@CTAB-SA) employing sodium alginate (SA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as matrices.

When Burl Ives sang "Silver and gold decorations, on every Christmas tree" in "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer," he surely didn't know that Christmas trees actually have gold inside their needles — but ...

A new generation of “theranostic” nanoparticles has been shown to both detect and reduce plaques in the arteries. Nanoparticles absorbed by immune cells in the arteries, where they work to lower ...

Attachment of reactive nanoparticles to fabrics and fibers is crucial for applications such as filtration, sensors, and photocatalysis. One important application is chemical-biological (chem-bio) ...
