Creating differently shaped and sized hollow nanospheres from a single template
Polymeric hollow nanospheres with high stability and controllable permeability have interesting potential applications associated with the controlled release of encapsulated active ingredients (e.g., drugs, vaccines, antibodies, hormones, pesticides, and fragrances) under well-defined conditions. Researchers in Singapore are now fabricating hollow nanostructures with different shapes using a single template.
CNTs as templates for one-dimensional nanoparticle assemblies
Spanish researchers have shown that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) constitute the ideal templates for the formation of one-dimensional strings of metal nanoparticles, with potential uses as waveguides, that would allow the miniaturization of devices below the diffraction limit and as catalytic motors.
New, low-cost method to synthesize high-purity and large-scale inorganic fullerene-like nanoparticles
Researchers at Jilin University in the PR of China explained to Nanowerk how they developed a simple, large-scale and low-cost route to synthesize IFs.
A new, low cost process to fabricate nanopillars
A low cost nanosphere lithography method for patterning and generation of semiconductor nanostructures provides a potential alternative to conventional top-down fabrication techniques.
