In this study, an assembly of stimulus-sensitive gel particles with DNA–dye complexes was investigated for application in optical-sensing devices. This composite material of stimulus-sensitive gels ...

The preparation of size-controlled CdS nanoparticles in block copolymer micelles and formation of composite particles of CdS nanoparticles and polymers are described in this paper. Uniformly sized CdS ...

(Nanowerk News) In many processes in nature and industry, small objects form ordered layers in liquids on solid surfaces. Standard models describe the objects as spheres with homogeneous surfaces, but ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) first emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and rapidly spread to other countries, causing an unprecedented global pandemic. Today, the ...

Particles embedded in a liquid crystal can interact with each other via elasticity-mediated forces. We study how the host medium’s intrinsic order translates into the self-organization of immersed ...

Synthesis, formation mechanisms and novel characterization tools of (mainly colloidal) anisotropic nanoparticles of different compositions (metal, metal oxide, semiconductor, polymer). Emphasis will ...
