Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a stringent test of quantum mechanics. Matter wave in the spotlight: The image ...

Researchers reveal why trace amounts of alloy added to some catalysts keep them performing better over time. The study ...

A fast and accurate surrogate model screens over 10,000 possible metal-oxide supports for a platinum nanocatalyst to prevent sintering under high temperatures. Metal nanoparticles catalyze reactions ...

Scientists have for the first time filmed the real-time growth and contraction of Palladium nanoparticles, opening new avenues for utilising and recycling precious metal catalysts. Scientists have for ...

Noble metals, such as gold and platinum, show great potential in renewable energy. Very tiny pieces of noble metals, known as nanoparticles, can increase the rate of a chemical reaction within ...

As recent history proves, airborne respiratory infections are not to be trifled with. Now, a new sprayable coating applied to standard air filters might give us a leg up in the war against the ...

MOSS LANDING — Scientists have reported concentrations of heavy-metal nanoparticles in the marsh soils at Elkhorn Slough in the wake of the recent fire at a battery storage facility in Moss Landing.

A team led by Brent Wagner, MD, a professor in the University of New Mexico's School of Medicine Department of Internal Medicine, conducted a study published in the journal Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Across the U.S., hundreds of sites on land or in lakes and rivers are heavily contaminated with hazardous waste produced by human activity. Many of these places, designated as Superfund sites by the ...
