Scientists studied the movements of a spherical probe amongst static nanorods. They found that the particles sometimes diffused faster in a nematic environment than in a disordered environment. That ...

(a) TEM image of the ultra-fine NiS nanorods with diameter of ~2.7 nm. (b) ADF-STEM image and (c) corresponding FFT pattern of the ultra-fine nanorod in radial direction. (d) ADF-STEM image and (e) ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Mingtai at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a finely tuned method for growing titanium dioxide nanorod arrays ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Energy security has been a top global concern motivating researchers to seek it from renewable and cost-effective resources. Solar cells, that convert sun light into electricity, ...

Researchers developed a finely tuned method for growing titanium dioxide nanorod arrays with controllable spacing without changing individual rod size and demonstrated its application in ...

Researchers have revealed previously unobserved behaviors in nanrods that suggest new rules for the behavior of nanorod ensembles and new insights into how to increase heat-transfer efficiency in a ...

A research team led by Prof. WANG Mingtai at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a finely tuned method for growing titanium dioxide nanorod arrays ...

Small amendments in overall concentrations, impurities and nucleation sites can lead to considerable differences in particle shape, size and purity, rendering reproducibility a concern. Therefore, ...

Brighter LEDs and better solar cells could be developed using the least reflective coating ever made. Researchers found that depositing an array of angled silicon-dioxide nanorods on a surface ...
