A research team studied how iridium and palladium nanoparticles can change the properties of catalysts with minor degradation ...

For the uniform illumination, they used semi-transparent thin-film cadmium telluride (Cd-Te), and for the non-uniform illumination, they used semitransparent crystalline silicon (c-Si), which ...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are strong, biodegradable, and derived from plant biomass. Explore how they’re made and their potential to replace fossil fuel–based plastics, packaging, and energy ...

The world is littered with trillions of micro- and nanoscopic pieces of plastic. These can be smaller than a virus -- just the right size to disrupt cells and even alter DNA. Researchers find them ...
