The transformation of carbon nanotubes in the atmosphere may significantly alter their toxicity

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are expected to be widely used in multiple commercial applications due to their outstanding properties, such as low mass density, high mechanical strength, electron/hole mobility, and thermal conductivity. Numerous consumer products currently exist that contain CNTs, including...

Researchers obtain hybrid perovskite nanoparticles with 80% luminescence yield

Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science of the University of Valencia (ICMol), led by Professor Julia Pérez-Prieto, have developed a method for preparing methylammonium-lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3) hybrid nanoparticles with extraordinary luminescence. This work has successfully increased the...

New nanotechnology tools possible with Moebius strip from laser light

Physics sometimes borders on light art. An international team headed by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) can easily compete with the light artists, at least as far as the skill of forming light is concerned. In their most recent work (, "Observation of optical...
