Organic ligands are essential in the growth of monodisperse colloidal inorganic nanocrystals and can be leveraged to create a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Inorganic nanocrystals coated with ...
Nanomaterials with core-shell architectures are prominent examples of strain-engineered materials. The lattice mismatch between the core and shell materials can cause strong interface strain, which ...
A structure much like a liquid crystal allows the shell of a scarab beetle to circularly polarize light, scientists in the US have discovered. Mohan Srinivasarao of the Georgia Institute of Technology ...
