So researchers are working to image and characterize the nanospheres to better understand their properties. For the titanium dioxide particles to use light effectively, their size and shape need ...

Although it has been possible to make hollow 32-atom gold nanospheres surrounded by an organic thiolate shell 9, less is known about pure clusters of this size. The experimental and theoretical ...

Double emulsions — for example ones where water droplets are dispersed in oil droplets, which are dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase — have advantages over single emulsions for ...

2010 Amorphous calcium phosphate nanospheres transform to form crystalline platelets in zebrafish collagen fibrils [84] Peng et al. 2011 Mineral NPs spontaneously form in fetal bovine serum used ...

Flatter nanocrystals are unexpectedly good at getting ligands to attach to them, which could have applications in electronics ...

Nanospheres of inorganic materials could be used as lubricants, in essence by acting as nanosized ball bearings . The controlled shape is claimed to make them more durable than conventional solid ...

A prominent researcher in environmental sustainability, Dr Oluwafemi Ige, has said Africa’s industrial growth cannot come at ...

As an assistant professor, I will focus my research gene therapy, specifically on the development of new types of nanospheres made of biodegradeable polymers. I have been developing some of these in ...

Examples of new nanotechnology applications in personal care products include (from the IEHN report "Beneath the Skin: Hidden Liabilities, Market Risk and Drivers of Change in the Cosmetics and ...

The aim of my research is to gain a stronger understanding of how the cytoskeleton is regulated during cell division, migration and polarity. I am interested in how microtubules and actomyosin control ...

Animal tracking studies for ecology and conservation all face technological limitations, such as high costs or the need for tags to remain in close proximity to detectors. In research published in ...

With a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, Dr. Ige's work focuses on sustainable strategies to curb greenhouse gas emissions, specifically in sectors like ...
