Sentences with phrase «oxide nanorods»

The team grew tiny, upright zinc oxide nanorods, which act as photocatalysts for breaking apart organic molecules when exposed to UV light, on the surface of optical disks.

This is a schematic diagram of the europium doped gadolinium oxide nanorods and the silica coating to improve the biocompatibility.

Not exact matches

The gold - iron oxide core - shell nanorods may be useful in cancer therapy, with MRI imaging enabled by the iron oxide shell, and local heating created by the photothermal effect on the gold nanorod core killing cancer cells.

Nanorod structures aren't new, but the technique used by Lin's lab produces nanorods of uniform sizes — such as barium titanate and iron oxide, which have not yet been demonstrated via wet - chemistry approaches in the literature — and highly - uniform core - shell nanorods made by combining two dissimilar materials.

However, this approach requires precision engineering of nano - features (in a detection chip), complex optical setups, novel nano - probes (such as graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and gold nanorods) or additional amplification steps such as aggregation of nanoparticles to achieve sensitive detection of biomarkers.

The team used the key properties of zinc oxide, a material that when squashed or stretched creates a voltage by converting energy from motion into electrical energy, in the form of nanorods.

Firstly, they developed a process whereby they could spray on the nanorod chemicals — almost like nanorod graffiti — to cover a plastic sheet in a layer of zinc oxide.
