(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chemical pesticide use is a cornerstone of industrial agriculture, yet most formulations suffer from poor delivery efficiency and unintended ecological consequences. Less than 1% ...
Selenium, a vital trace element for human health, is known for its role in immune regulation and cancer prevention. Now, researchers are discovering that selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) could offer ...
The sol-gel process is a widely used method for synthesizing nanoparticles with precise control over size, shape, and composition. This method converts a liquid precursor, or "sol," into a solid gel ...
Built by Danish researchers, the device also achieved a power conversion efficiency of 5.0%. They designed the cell with a soda-lime glass substrate, a tin oxide (FTO) layer, an electron transport ...
In a recent study published in the Scientific Reports Journal, researchers explored the use of endophytic fungi to fabricate selenium nanoparticles. They reported the successful green synthesis of ...
The team identified a powerful selenium-reducing bacterium, Raoultella ornithinolytica S-1, capable of converting inorganic selenium into selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) while simultaneously promoting ...
Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless chemical compound comprised of nitrogen and hydrogen that is widely used in agriculture and in ...
A small shift in temperature is enough to make a new class of nanoparticles snap together, offering a novel way to deliver fragile medicines. Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School ...
