In this study we demonstrate the novel properties of bifunctional Au/Ni nanorods in gene transfer. Deposition of the nanorods was achieved by template synthesis, which involves electrochemical ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- A relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods - rod-shaped semiconductor nanocrystals - to self-assemble into one-, two- and even three-dimensional ...

Just as landscape photographs shot in low-angle light dramatically accentuate subtle swales and mounds, depositing metal vapors at glancing angles turns a rough surface into amazing nanostructures ...

AZoNanao spoke to Darren Rowles from Sona Nanotech about gold nanorods and their applications; in particular, examining the gold nanorods produced by Sona Nanotech. Gold nanorods are microscopic gold ...

There are many reasons that I love working in materials chemistry, and particularly in artificial photosynthesis - splitting water using sunlight to generate hydrogen and oxygen gases. You’ve heard me ...

Materials scientists have developed a new strategy for crafting one-dimensional nanorods from a wide range of precursor materials. Based on a cellulose backbone, the system relies on the growth of ...

After their nanorods were accidentally created when an experiment didn’t go as planned, the researchers gave the microscopic, unplanned spawns of science a closer look. Chemist Satish Nune was ...

Learning from your mistakes is a key life lesson, and it's one that researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) can attest to. After unintentionally creating carbon-rich nanorods, the ...

Nanorods may soon afford us the abilities of water striders, according to a research paper published in Nature Materials. The authors of the paper are trying to develop a surface with a grain that’s ...

Sometimes it's the accidental discoveries that make the biggest impact. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have learned that carbon-rich nanorods created in a botched experiment ...

Researchers have developed a relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods to self-assemble into aligned and ordered macroscopic structures. This technique should enable more ...
