The requirement for nanoparticle characterization is growing with development in the nanotechnology field and the increased use of nanoparticles in various processes and products. Nanoparticles are ...

Plasmonic metal nanostructures (e.g., Au, Cu, Pt, Ru) have attracted considerable attention in photothermal catalysis due to their unique capabilities in light-field regulation and energy conversion.

Fluorescing nanoparticles are helpful tools for biological imaging, allowing researchers to spot hard-to-see phenomena through a microscope by lighting up when hit with laser light at the correct ...

Immune system cells can be engineered outside of the body in a type of therapy called CAR-T. Now, Johns Hopkins scientists are developing ways to sidestep such cell manufacturing with a biodegradable ...

Blobs of water encased in nanoparticles can be carved into precise shapes with a laser, and even turned into a kind of miniature lab device. When water is added to a gel of hydrophobic silicon dioxide ...
