A recent article in Nature Communications describes the direct observation of core–shell metallic nanowire growth using advanced imaging techniques. These methods enable visualization of atomic-scale ...

(Nanowerk News) Take a pill, or get a shot? Given the choice, most people would likely go for the former. Cornell researchers have found a way to potentially administer C'Dots – ultrasmall fluorescent ...

A class of ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles developed at Cornell is showing an unexpected ability to rally the immune system against melanoma and dramatically improve the ...

Nanoshells are a class of nanoparticles consisting of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin metallic shell, typically made of gold or silver. The core material is usually silica or a polymer, while ...

Cornell Prime Dots, also called C’Dots, are ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell hybrid silica nanoparticles that have been thought to only be effective when administered intravenously. However, recent ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell hybrid silica nanoparticles – known as Cornell Prime Dots, or C’Dots – are among the nanocarriers for therapeutics that were thought to be viable only ...
