Mesoporous thin film architectures are an important class of materials that exhibit unique
properties, which include high surface area, versatile surface functionalization, and …

Nanosized particles can exhibit unexpected properties different from those of the original
bulk material. The basic premise is that properties can dramatically change when a …

This study is aimed to better understand the bactericidal mode of action of silver
nanoparticles. Here we present the production and characterization of laser-synthesized …

Abstract Crystalline ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by ultra-short femtosecond (fs)
pulsed laser ablation (PLA) of a zinc plate in deionized water, and are investigated by …
