The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

From nanometre-sized particles to larger surfaces, the physical and electrostatic properties of materials are key to understanding how they behave in real-world situations.  Among these ...

Silver nanoparticles derived from Magnolia alba leaf extract exhibit superior antioxidant properties and effective dye ...

Plastic waste pollutes oceans across all regions of the world. Marine animals may become entangled in larger plastic debris ...

Scientists from UCL and the University of Cambridge have revealed that "space ice"—long thought to be completely disordered—is actually sprinkled with tiny crystals, changing our fundamental ...

Nanoparticles (NPs) are materials whose dimensions range from 1 to 1,000 nanometers (nm). Due to their nano-scale dimensions and tunable material properties, NPs have gained interest in the global ...

From CO₂ to methane: Scientists discover how nickel nanoparticle shape and size control conversion by Polytechnic University of Milan edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

The in vitro and in vivo performance of nanoparticles is directly linked to their physicochemical attributes, i.e., their shape, size, crystal phase and surface properties. By definition, ...

The sol-gel process is a widely used method for synthesizing nanoparticles with precise control over size, shape, and composition. This method converts a liquid precursor, or "sol," into a solid gel ...

Single-particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (sp-ICP-MS) is a powerful technique that enables the simultaneous measurement of nanoparticle size and the quantification of ...
