The translation into practical applications is a key part of Xia's work, which bridges the gap between laboratory research ...

Nanotechnology is no longer a novel concept; it has evolved into a general-purpose technology. It has been used to generate various materials at the nanoscale, including passive and active ...

These nanomaterials are composed mostly of carbon, most commonly taking the form of a hollow spheres, ellipsoids, or tubes. Spherical and ellipsoidal carbon nanomaterials are referred to as fullerenes ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. Zhao Bangchuan from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Xiao Yao ...

Prof. Wang Lianzhou, Chair Professor of Energy Materials of the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology at The ...

If 50% or more of the constituent particles of a material in the number size distribution have one or more external dimensions in the size range 1 nm to 100 nm, then the material is a nanomaterial.

Nanomaterials are materials with at least one external dimension that measures 100 nanometers (nm) or less or with internal structures measuring 100 nm or less. The nanomaterials that have the same ...

Since their discovery at Drexel University in 2011, MXenes — a family of nanomaterials with unique properties of durability, conductivity and filtration, among many others — has become the largest ...

Au nanomaterials with unusual crystal structures obtained by this protocol have large aspect ratios in terms of edge length to thickness (for hcp AuSSs and hcp/fcc AuSPs), length to diameter (for ...
