Microplastics have become one of the most pervasive pollutants on the planet, turning up everywhere from the deepest ocean ...

To solve this, the researchers placed the gold nanorod on an ultra-thin optical fiber that has a special property: the direction that light travels through the fiber depends on whether the light near ...

Schematic illustration of how gold nanorods functionalised with cisplatin, indomethacin and dansyl-sulfonamide accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), trigger cancer-cell death. One of the major ...

Scientists have fabricated a binder-free bismuth-antimony sulfide nanorod anode on reduced graphene oxide using rapid electrophoretic deposition, achieving durable lithium and sodium-ion storage by ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- In a recent study, researchers have examined the possibility of rolling a nanorod on the surface of water. On the macroscale, perhaps the closest analogy might be the sport of ...

A relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods - rod-shaped semiconductor nanocrystals - to self-assemble into one-, two- and even three-dimensional macroscopic structures has ...

Researchers have developed a relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods to self-assemble into aligned and ordered macroscopic structures. This technique should enable more ...

A single gold nanorod, far smaller than a wavelength of visible light, can be coaxed into emitting circularly polarized radiation simply by nudging the electron beam that excites it a few nanometers ...

Brighter LEDs and better solar cells could be developed using the least reflective coating ever made. Researchers found that depositing an array of angled silicon-dioxide nanorods on a surface ...
