An international research team led by scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has invented a 'smart' window material that controls heat transmission without blocking views, which could help cut the energy required to cool and heat buildings.
Nanoparticles have been subjected to intensive research and ever-growing attention due to the fact they demonstrate unique and varied chemical and physical properties regardless of their tiny size (1 to 100 nm), and demonstrate vast application potential. Their production has been further expanded upon in the journal Materials Today.
A team of researchers from Saudi Arabia has presented their study in the journal Nanotechnology on nanotechnology-enabled techniques for use in face masks to protect better against SARS-Cov-2 and other airborne pathogens. The team also compared the effective use of nanotechnology-enabled facemasks with those currently available on the commercial market.
Propylene oxide is a valuable intermediate product in chemical industry. Current industrial production of PO is neither cost-effective nor environmentally friendly.
Scientists at St Petersburg University, Sirius University of Science and Technology, and St Petersburg Academic University have synthesised the smallest nano-sized metal-organic frameworks to detect heavy metal ions in water.
A team has demonstrated the fabrication of ultrathin electromagnetic interference shielding materials that will provide significant advances in products that take advantage of nanomaterials, as published in the journal Materialstoday.
The use of environmentally friendly carbonaceous materials as catalysts for organic reactions has gained major attention in the past decades.
The latest research published in the journal Advanced Optical Materials has shown that the addition of noble metals to the nanoscopic design of semiconductors affects the properties of nanoparticle gel networks.
A team of researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has formulated a technique for creating an ultra-high material efficient solar cell incorporating semiconductor nanowires. If this is positioned on top of a traditional silicon-based solar cell, the efficiency of present-day Si solar cells could potentially double in a cost-effective manner.
Fluorescent "dots"-that is, tiny particles that can emit light-have a multitude of promising biomedical applications, yet making such dots is usually a long, tedious process that uses harsh chemicals.
