Shape and size play powerful roles in determining the properties of a material; controlling
these aspects with precision is therefore an important, fundamental goal of the chemical …

Anodic porous alumina,–AAO–(also known as nanoporous alumina, nanohole alumina
arrays,–NAA–or nanoporous anodized alumina platforms,–NAAP–) has opened new …

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are of great scientific interest because of the size effect
associated with their magnetic properties and, even more so, because of their wide-ranging …

The ultrasonic propulsion of rod‐shaped nanomotors inside living HeLa cells is
demonstrated. These nanomotors (gold rods about 300 nm in diameter and about 3 μm …

Due to its manufacturing and size tailoring ease, porous anodic alumina (PAA) templates
are an elegant physical-chemical nanopatterning approach and an emergent alternative to …

Nanofibers have been developed rapidly owing to their novel properties and wide
applications. Scalable manufacturing of nanofibers is important for future applications. This …

The fibrous shape of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) raises concern that they may pose an
asbestos-like inhalation hazard, leading to the development of diseases, especially …

Nanomaterials (NMs) generally display fascinating physical and chemical properties that are
not always present in bulk materials; therefore, any modification to their size, shape, or …

We perform a systematic study based on micromagnetic simulations of the demagnetization
process for cylindrical nanowires with different crystalline structure. These simulations …

Suspicion has been raised that high aspect ratio nanoparticles or nanofibers might possess
asbestos-like pathogenicity. The pleural space is a specific target for disease in individuals …
