Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are widely considered the gold standard for nanoparticle characterization. However, choosing which to employ is a complex ...

Unlike optical microscopy, SEM does not rely on light waves but instead uses a beam of electrons to interact with materials, enabling magnifications up to 300,000× and resolutions approaching 1 nm. 1 ...

In a recent study published in Polymers, researchers synthesized and evaluated a silver and polyurethane nanocomposite surface coating material that exhibits antiviral activity against severe acute ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum dots are being intensively investigated for applications such as light-emitting diodes, solid-state lighting, lasers, solar cells, and fluorescent labels for biological ...

The approach takes advantage of the attractive pairing of complementary strands of synthetic DNA-based on the molecule that carries the genetic code in its sequence of matched bases known by the ...
