What are Metal Oxide Nanoparticles? Metal oxide nanoparticles are a class of nanomaterials composed of metal cations bonded to oxygen anions, with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers.

One scientist would like to put sand into your computer. Not beach sand, but silicon dioxide nanoparticles coated with a high dielectric constant polymer to inexpensively provide improved cooling for ...

Fluorescing nanoparticles are helpful tools for biological imaging, allowing researchers to spot hard-to-see phenomena through a microscope by lighting up when hit with laser light at the correct ...

Blobs of water encased in nanoparticles can be carved into precise shapes with a laser, and even turned into a kind of miniature lab device. When water is added to a gel of hydrophobic silicon dioxide ...
