Researchers in the field of nanochemistry work from the atom up, with the aim of engineering nanosized materials. They use a number of methods to prepare and assemble ‘little pieces of matter’ which ...

Across the span of my 40-plus-year career, I was fortunate to be involved in the birth and growth of a futuristic field of science that my colleagues and I came to call nanochemistry. The central ...

This diagram illustrates a proposed conceptual framework for nanochemistry, which has emerged with the evolution of the field. The new “degrees of freedom” of surface, size, shape, self-assembly, ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Using a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) as a test tube, scientists can explore chemistry at the nanoscale, which involves some unique effects. Nanotubes provide a confined, ...

Chronic infected wounds are often highly problematic for diabetic patients. However, a team of Chinese researchers has now developed a targeted approach to wound healing that makes use of nanomedicine ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As far as test tubes go, it doesn't get any smaller than a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT). Among the wide range of interesting properties exhibited by SWCNTs is their ...

The NanoChemistry group at DTU Chemistry uses new and untraditional technologies which has helped us to open a whole new world of "ultra-small" chemical and physicochemical systems of great importance ...

Atomically precise nanochemistry plays an increasingly important role in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanomaterials with well-defined structure–property relationships offer reliable and ...

Proteins, like many other nanometre-scale objects, cannot normally exist in the liquid state. Instead they sublime or degrade upon heating. Building on others' work with inorganic nanoparticles, ...
