Superparticles shaped from nanorods

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A new technique for growing complex superparticles from self-assembling nanorods could create a new generation of polarized LEDs. Joining nanoparticles creates new materials with [enhanced] collective properties. Such materials could revolutionize applications from data processing to medicine, but attempts to assemble nanoscale objects into sophisticated structures have been largely unsuccessful. The University of Florida study represents a major breakthrough in the field, showing how thermodynamic forces can manipulate growth of nanoparticles into superparticles with unprecedented...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
