Silver nanocrystals have fascinating optical properties known as localized surface plasmon resonance, which is essential to applications in sensing and imaging. For example, Ag nanocubes embrace…

Metamaterials are commonly viewed as artificially-structured media capable of realizing arbitrary effective parameters, in which metals and dielectrics are delicately combined to facilitate the index…

Applications including batteries, corrosion, catalysis, semiconductors, coatings and structural biology have all led to an increased need for capabilities that allow simultaneous atomic scale…

Quantum confined semiconductor nanocrystals have emerged as a new class of light harvesting and charge separation materials in photovoltaic and photocatalyticdevices. Compared with single component…

We compile large sets of nano-related article and patent abstracts. We then analyze these records to learn about changing research emphases to try to project likely future developmental pathways. In…

Recent advances in additive manufacturing allow the precise placement of multiple materials at micrometer resolution with essentially no restrictions on the geometric complexity of the spatial…

Colloidal dispersions have been useful for many applications, particularly because of the balance of microscopic heterogeneity and the wealth of tunable properties they exhibit at macroscopic length…
