This article provides a comprehensive review of current research activities that concentrate
on one‐dimensional (1D) nanostructures—wires, rods, belts, and tubes—whose lateral …

Driven by the search for new materials with interesting and unique properties and also by
the fundamental question of how atomic and molecular physical behaviour develops with …

In this work the electronic structure of (E)-4-methoxy-2-[(p-tolylimino) methyl] phenol has
been characterized by the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level by using density functional theory. The …

▪ Abstract Noble metal particles have long fascinated scientists because of their intense
color, which led to their application in stained glass windows as early as the Middle Ages …

Mesoporous semiconducting films consisting of preferentially orientated monoclinic-phase
nanocrystals of tungsten trioxide have been prepared using a novel version of the sol− gel …

Surfaces play a vial role in biology and medicine with most biological reactions occurring at
surfaces and interfaces. The foundations, evolution, and impact of biomedical surface …

The self-assembly of particles at fluid interfaces, driven by the reduction in interfacial energy,
is well established. However, for nanoscopic particles, thermal fluctuations compete with …

A general strategy is described which allows for transferring hydrophobically capped
nanocrystals from organic to aqueous solution by wrapping an amphiphilic polymer around …

Many active organic compounds and organic effect materials are poorly soluble in water, or
even insoluble. Aqueous forms of application thus require special formulation techniques to …

Multi-scale ordering of materials is central for the application of molecular systems,, in
macroscopic devices,. Self-assembly based on selective control of non-covalent …
