What would happen if... ?: Engineering a new way to make nanoparticles

Nanoparticle structures can act like fire ice

Using computer simulations, researchers have shown that bipyramid nanoparticles can form clathrate structures with gaps for guest molecules.

Novel additive material protects fuel cells from their own reactions

A new additive material comprised of tantalum-titanium oxide nanoparticles can soak up corrosive free radicals in fuel cells.

Great escape for novel phase-shifting material

Engineers have designed miniature robots made from a novel phase-shifting material that can rapidly and reversibly shift between liquid and solid states.
