To better understand the growth of macroscopic structures from molecules, a research team of physicists and chemists has mimicked such processes with custom-made molecules.
Nanoparticles composed of metals and semiconductors could serve as light sources in components of future optical computers, as they are able to precisely localize and amplify incident laser light.
Iridium-based metallodrugs are emerging as novel tools to destroy cancer cells by disrupting their intracellular redox balance. Scientists now have imaged the anticancer agent at work in the cryopreserved intracellular nano-space.
