New class of porous metal nanoparticles will give rise to new capabilities in biomolecular absorption, chemical sensing and separations

Oct 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Northwestern University have made a significant advance in the way they produce exotic open-framework superlattices made of hollow metal nanoparticles. Using tiny hollow particles termed metallic nanoframes and modifying them with appropriate sequences of DNA, the team found they could synthesize open-channel superlattices...

Reducing the cost of a future energy carrier

Oct 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Hydrogen is essential to the modern economy, and expanding its utility in a more sustainable society is a major global priority. Now, in a study recently published in Science Advances ("Main-group catalysis for H2 purification based on liquid organic hydrogen carriers"), researchers from Osaka University...
