What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.

Environmental toxicologists, chemists and social scientists have identified three priorities for research into the impact of engineered nanoparticles ... onto the surface of ENPs may alter their ...

A cube-shaped nanoparticle has sides of 10 nm. Calculate its surface area to volume ratio. Surface area = 6 × 10 × 10 = 600 nm 2 (remember that a cube has six sides) ...

The greater the surface area of the catalyst compared with the volume of the catalyst, the more effective the catalyst will be at speeding up the reaction. Nanoparticles have a very high surface ...

Large quantities of nanoparticles are unintentionally created by the combustion of diesel fuel ... Two principal factors cause the properties of materials in nanoparticle size to differ significantly ...

Researchers from the IBB-UAB have developed a new class of nanostructures capable of trapping and neutralizing large ... and ...

Northwestern researchers created a reusable sponge that captures pollutants like phosphate, copper, and zinc from water while ...

"Towards the end of the reaction, the ratio of the surface area of the particles to their volume is particularly large, which is why the volume-normalized reaction rate increases sharply again ...

New research suggests that silver nanoparticles can leach out of antimicrobial plastic packaging and contaminate solid foods.

A team of research scientists led by US Food and Drug Administration chemist Timothy Duncan has found evidence of silver nanoparticles ... They noted that the more surface contact between the ...
