Laser synthesis emerges as a suitable technique to produce ligand-free nanoparticles,
alloys and functionalized nanomaterials for catalysis, imaging, biomedicine, energy and …

The question of whether all materials can solidify into the glassy form proposed by Turnbull
half a century ago remains unsolved. Some of the simplest systems of monatomic metals …

Nucleation and growth are two important and entwined processes in materials synthesis and
engineering. While understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of the processes remain …

Laser ablation in liquid-phase (LAL) has been developed since the 1990s, but the interest in
laser synthesis of colloids has emerged in the last decade due to a significant improvement …

The single-step incorporation of multiple immiscible elements into colloidal high-entropy
alloy (HEA) nanoparticles has manifold technological potential, but it continues to be a …

Due to material gaps and synthesis‐related cross‐correlations in heterogeneous catalysis,
chemists and physicists are constantly motivated to develop novel catalyst preparation …

Amorphous metal nanoparticles (A-NPs) have aroused great interest in their structural
disordering nature and combined downsizing strategies (eg nanoscaling), both of which are …
