A new imaging technique developed by researchers at the University of Illinois overcomes the limit of diffraction and can reveal the atomic structure of a single nanocrystal with a resolution of less than one angstrom (less than one hundred-millionth of a centimeter).
-
In 2002, one company was manufacturing self-cleaning window glass; another made a nanocrystal wound dressing with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties.
-
We conclude that the vast majority of the nanocrystal magnetites present in the carbonate disks could not have formed by any of the currently proposed thermal decomposition scenarios.
-
A couple of weeks ago and again last week, Wired featured a nanocrystal that can absorb carbon dioxide.
-
Their findings represent a key step towards the fabrication of functional nanocrystal-based devices and circuits.
-
I shouldn't think it would be anything like as effective as the Egyptian nanocrystal dye because the recipe sounds like it would just be a surface pigment like modern hair dye, rather than forming by a chemical reaction right in the hair microstructure.
-
A QCA is an atom or an ion (atom with an electric charge) trapped within a "nanocrystal cage" (a tiny cage made from the atoms of a semiconductor).
-
But at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., windows are the focus of some cutting-edge research in nanocrystal technology.
-
At the lab's Molecular Foundry, Delia Milliron is developing a smart window that can change based on the weather with the help of nanocrystal technology.
-
But, in fact, the nanocrystal pillars allow light to bounce around inside in a number of different ways, so there are a set of light paths that involve hitting the interface between the gallium arsenide and silicon at an oblique angle, where most of the light is reflected.
