Nanoparticles seen as artificial atoms
Berkeley Lab researchers observations of nanorod crystal growth points way to next-generation energy devices
30-May-2012 -
In the growth of crystals, do nanoparticles act as "artificial atoms" forming molecular-type building blocks that can assemble into complex structures? This is the contention of a major but controversial theory to explain nanocrystal growth. A study by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy ...
