Engineers have developed an experimental strategy to control and observe the chemical reaction of a single nanocatalyst using an optical microscope -- Expected to contribute to catalyst design based ...

Gold doesn’t tarnish like similar metals do. A new paper says that the key is the intricate “herringbone” pattern of its atoms.

C60 molecules on a gold substrate appear more complex than their graphene counterparts, but have much more ordinary electronic properties. This is now shown by measurements with ARPES at BESSY II and ...

Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) have settled a two-decade-long debate about the spin direction of electrons on the surface of gold. The study was published in the Journal of ...

(Nanowerk News) Photocatalysis, sensors, solar cells: nanoparticles that are excited by light promise a variety of applications, if the processes behind their behaviour can be controlled. One such ...

Medieval stained-glass windows colored in gold nanoparticles help purify air when lit by the sun, a new study finds. "For centuries people appreciated only the beautiful works of art, and long life of ...

A research team led by Professor Seo Dae-ha of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST (President Kuk Yang) developed an optical microscopy that can control and observe electron transfer and ...

(Nanowerk News) Graphene consists of carbon atoms that crosslink in a plane to form a flat honeycomb structure. In addition to surprisingly high mechanical stability, the material has exciting ...
