HTTP:: Controlling the Production of Custom Nanoparticles
--------
Scientists working with nanoparticles tout them as the way of the future in a large number of research fields, ranging from computing and chemistry to electronics and medicine. However, in order for the tiny structures to be of any good, they need to fulfill certain demands. Creating them after strict specifications has proven to be a difficult obstacle to overcome, but experts at the North Carolina State University (NCSU) have recently managed to consistently create hollow, solid and amorphous nanoparticles of nickel phosphide. Because their methods of production yielded the same results at all times, they are considering the possibility of creating a “how-to” guide on producing such custom nanoparticles, so that other research groups working on the nanoscale could progress in their work as well. Such a guide, the scientists believe, could bring about a wave of innovation, from research initiatives that are now at a stand-still because the correct type of nanoparticles!
cannot be produced. Nickel phosphide, for instance, can be used as a catalyst for removing sulfur from fuel, or for the development of new types of solar cells. “It's been known that these structures could be made, but this research provides us with a comprehensive understanding of nanos...
