A research team has developed a groundbreaking method for synthesizing perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), a next-generation semiconductor material, in a more uniform and efficient manner. This study is ...

Quantum dots are composed of semiconducting materials like cadmium selenide (CdSe) or indium arsenide (InAs) and can be synthesized through various methods. For instance, colloidal synthesis and ...

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...

A method to screen a wide variety of drug candidates without laborious purification steps could advance the fight against drug-resistant bacteria. A method to screen a wide variety of drug candidates ...

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals. They exist on a nanometer scale (ca. 2–12 nm) and are coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to avoid agglomeration. Due to their size, CQDs ...

All-solid-state batteries using flame-retardant inorganic solid electrolytes are expected to be the next-generation batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) owing to their high safety and output ...
