Nanotechnology is one of the scientific advances in technology. Nanoparticles (NPs) are
small materials ranging from 1 to 100 nm. When the shape of the supplied nanoparticles …

A century ago, Hermann Staudinger proposed the macromolecular theory of polymers, and
now, as we enter the second century of polymer science, we face a different set of …

A novel class of one-dimensional (1D) plasmonic Ag@ Cu2O core–shell heteronanowires
have been synthesized at room temperature for photocatalysis application. The morphology …

High-energy radiation that is compatible with renewable energy sources enables direct H2
production from water for fuels; however, the challenge is to convert it as efficiently as …

Gold nanoparticle (GNP) radio-enhancement is a promising technique to increase the dose
deposition in a tumor while sparing neighboring healthy tissue. Previous experimental …

The conduction and valence band edges (EC and EV) of a material relative to the water
redox potential levels are critical factors governing photocatalytic water splitting activity …

Radiosensitization by metallic nanoparticles (NP) has been explored for more than a
decade with promising results in vitro and in cellulo reported in a vast number of …

Background A wide range of nanoparticles (NPs), composed of different elements and their
compounds, are being developed by several groups as possible radiosensitisers, with some …

The nature of electron transfer across metal oxide–water interfaces depends significantly on
the band gap of the oxide and its band edge energies relative to the potentials of relevant …

We for the first time used highly water-soluble silica-covered gold nanoparticles (AuNP@
SiO2) in water to successfully isolate average physical enhancement from other …
