(Nanowerk Spotlight) One of the complications of nanotoxicology is that the toxicity of a specific nanomaterial cannot be predicted from the toxicity of the same material in a different form. For ...

Nanowire array production from a macroscopic rod by iterative thermal size reduction. Step 1: A macroscopic cylindrical rod (diameter 10 mm, length 200 mm) is fabricated from the material that is to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Most applications of nanostructured materials rely on their high-aspect ratio providing them particular physical features. Another considerable advantage comes from the size ...

Semiconductor nanowires are primarily nanosystems with tunable 2-200 nm cross-sectional dimensions and lengths ranging from a few hundred nanometers to several micrometers. These nanowires can confine ...
