Radiant 2-dimensional carbon nitride nanomaterials
2-dimesional nanomaterials that could be used to create light emitting diodes (LEDs) or solar cells have been made through the simple, but unconventional, method of spontaneous dissolution. This new industrially-scalable approach, published in Nano Letters, produces...
Encapsulation and Polymerisation of White Phosphorus Inside Single-wall Carbon Nanotubes
Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been used to encapsulate many types of materials since their discovery, but now other nanostructured phosphorus allotropes are attracting considerable attention as well. The white phosphorus allotrope, which consists of tetrahedral...
Creating Crystals from Gold
Scientists from the LCN have revealed how materials such as gold can help create protein crystals. The team hope their findings, published in the journal Scientific Reports, could aid the discovery of new medicines and treatments. The Lead author; Professor Naomi...
