Researchers demonstrated the tumor-fighting effects of CMP nanoparticle system in various tumors, including colon carcinoma, melanoma, and head and neck cancer.

Fuel cells are typically applied to generate electrical energy from hydrogen or methanol. Nanoscale catalysts get the process going - but until now, the quality of these materials has varied significantly.

Polymer dielectrics are widely used as an insulating material in advanced electronics and electric power systems that require operation at high temperatures and high breakdown conditions. The miniaturization and higher power of modern electronics generate lots of heat, which needs to be dissipated quickly to avoid device malfunction or breakdown. This increased heat also leads to the temperature rise of insulating materials, which gradually causes the loss of dielectric performance. To ...

Researchers have developed a novel antibacterial material combining nonwoven nanotextile and unique compounds with antibacterial properties.

Elongated nanocrystals can carry a high payload of drugs to potentially increase drug targetability and also decrease dosage frequency and side effects.

Scientists have found a rare quantum material in which electrons move in coordinated ways, essentially 'dancing'.

This work promises a different route for the design of unconventional negative thermal expansion materials, with applications in engines, thermal barrier ceramics, and precision instruments, among other things.

Researchers show how short peptides can trigger the self-assembly of comparatively large nanoparticles into new structures on the micrometre scale.
