A straightforward new 'acid–base' approach can be used to make tunable, stable and homogenous mesoporous composite materials
Nanoparticles: Strength in numbers
A solution of urea-coated nanoparticles can be transformed into a remarkably strong solid at the flick of a switch
Dip-pen nanolithography: No double-dipping
Individual nanoparticles can be picked up and placed using dip-pen nanolithography
Nanoknife: Long story cut short
Nanoknife precisely cuts and sharpens carbon nanotubes
Nanostructures: Arrow in the quiver
Indium oxide can be made into nanoarrows and other nanostructures by changing the catalyst and source materials used in a chemical-vapour-deposition approach
