The self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles is of great importance in realizing their
enormous potentials for broad applications due to the advanced collective properties of …

Chirality in nanoscience may offer new opportunities for applications beyond the traditional
fields of chirality, such as the asymmetric catalysts in the molecular world and the chiral …

Size is one of the central issues in nanoscience. The practical meaning of the term “sub‐
nanometric material (SNM)” requires two aspects:(1) its size should be at the atomic level;(2) …

The core–shell nanoparticle structure, which consists of an inner layer “guest” nanoparticle
encapsulated inside another of a different material, is the simplest motif in two-component …

Despite many developed methods, it still remains a challenge to provide a simple and
general strategy for the controlled preparation of chiral nanostructures. Here we report a …

A fundamental understanding of cell shaping with confined flexible filaments, including
microtubules, actin filaments, and engineered nanotubes, has been limited by the complex …

Ultrathin nanostructures exhibit many interesting properties which are absent or less-
pronounced in traditional nanomaterials of larger sizes. In this work, we report the synthesis …

We report a new type of water-soluble ultrathin Au–Ag alloy nanowire (NW), which exhibits
unprecedented behavior in a colloidal solution. Upon growth of a thin metal (Pd, Pt, or Au) …

Among all carbon nanostructured materials, helical nanosprings or nanocoils have attracted
particular interest as a result of their special mechanical behavior. Here, carbon nanosprings …

Abstract Carbon (“C”) is an essential component and the fourth most abundant element of
this universe, comprising about 20% of the total weight of living creatures, but based on the …
