Supported atomic clusters with uniform metal sites and definite low-nuclearity are
intermediate states between single-atom catalysts (SACs) and nanoparticles in size …

Clusters that contain only a small number of atoms can exhibit unique and often unexpected
properties. The clusters are of particular interest in catalysis because they can act as …

The physical properties of metals change when their dimensions are reduced to the nano-
scale and new phenomena such as the localized surface-plasmon resonance (LSPR) …

The preparation and study of quantum dots and quantum wires play a very important role in
nanotechnology. In this particular study, we report on the uptake of silver by living alfalfa …

While inert as bulk material, nanoscale gold particles dispersed on oxide supports exhibit a
remarkable catalytic activity. Temperature-programmed reaction studies of the catalyzed …

Though creation and characterization of water soluble luminescent silver nanodots were
achieved only in the past decade, a large variety of emitters in diverse scaffolds have been …

Thin films are often grown away from thermodynamic equilibrium and their morphology
becomes determined by kinetics. The final structure of the epitaxial film is decided in the very …

Nanosphere lithography (NSL) is an inexpensive, inherently parallel, high-throughput, and
materials-general nanofabrication technique capable of producing well-ordered 2D periodic …

Native mass spectrometry (MS) has become widely accepted in structural biology, providing
information on stoichiometry, interactions, homogeneity, and shape of protein complexes …

Nanoclusters open fascinating opportunities for quantum engineering because quantum-
size effects become dominant in determining catalytic, 1-3 optical, 4 electronic, 5 and …
