A newly discovered nanocluster has a geometry that ''has not been observed in chemistry heretofore,'' the researchers say. The discovery of carbon nanostructures like two-dimensional graphene and ...

In a discovery shaped by more than a decade of steady, incremental effort rather than a dramatic breakthrough, scientists demonstrated that great ideas flourish when paired with patience. (Nanowerk ...

This study was carried out smoothly under the leadership of Dr. Ming-Liang Tong (Key Laboratory of Bioinorganic and Synthetic Chemistry of Ministry of Education, School of Chemistry, Sun Yat-Sen ...

(Nanowerk News) NUS scientists have developed an approach to improve the generation and luminescent harvesting of molecular triplets by coupling them with lanthanide-doped nanoparticles. This ...

Tuning light at the nanoscale: Photographed under 365-nm UV light, these vials display the distinctive luminescence of lanthanide-doped nanocrystals. The shifting palette from blue and green to red ...

Study: Triplets electrically turn on insulating lanthanide-doped nanoparticles. Image Credit: Vershinin89/Shutterstock.com In a recent Nature article, researchers ...

UV-Visible-NIR microspectroscopy brings together high spatial resolution of microscopy and the spectral analysis capabilities of spectroscopy, encompassing the ultraviolet (UV), visible and ...

A team of scientists was recently able to observe how promethium forms chemical bonds when placed in an aqueous solution. Proving a hypothesis can be exciting, but witnessing something that has never ...

"We like to make molecules that have no right to exist", says Dr David Mills from the University of Manchester. "Imagining ways to make our target molecules is a fun and creative process, and provides ...
