In this Progress Report some recent trends and future perspectives towards the use of nanomaterials for smart food packaging and quality control of food are given. The examples and discussion are meant to illustrate the potential use of nanotechnology for ...
During the past decade, graphene --- a monolayer of carbon atoms --- has attracted enormous interest for its use in nanoelectronic device applications. The absence of bandgap, however, has stalled its use both in logic (inability to turn off) and radio fre ...
Scaling down to nanometer size fluidic conduits has opened a new window into the world of sensing and manipulation of nanoscale species. Thousands of publications and hundreds of patents in this field are only a starting point for exploring and manipulatin ...
A three-dimensional-phospholipid monolayer with tunable molecular structure was created on the surface of oil nanodroplets from a mixture of phospholipids, oil, and water. This simple nanoemulsion preparation technique generates an in situ prepared membran ...
The interfaces in complex oxides present unique properties exploitable in nanoscale devices. Recent studies on ferroelectric BiFeO3, BaTiO3, and Pb(Zr, Ti) O-3 have revealed an unusually high electric conductivity of the domain walls (DWs), adding another ...
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were successfully covered with metal oxides - such as TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3, SnO2, and In2O3 nanoparticles - with different preparation methods under solvent conditions. The applied synthesis techniques were impregnation, a ...
Organic nanowires are important building blocks for nanoscopic organic electronic devices. In order to ensure efficient charge transport through such nanowires, it is important to understand in detail the molecular parameters that guide self-assembly of pi ...
