Tsukuba, Japan—The shapes of simple polyatomic molecules such as carbon dioxide and methane are characterized by a specific symmetry depending on the manner of linking of the atoms. Nano- to ...

A new technique for growing these microscopic crystals, published in Science ("Reductive pathways in molten inorganic salts enable colloidal synthesis of III-V semiconductor nanocrystals"), has not ...

Quantum dots are composed of semiconducting materials like cadmium selenide (CdSe) or indium arsenide (InAs) and can be synthesized through various methods. For instance, colloidal synthesis and ...

A recent article in Nature Communications describes the direct observation of core–shell metallic nanowire growth using advanced imaging techniques. These methods enable visualization of atomic-scale ...
