  Edinburgh UK (SPX) Nov 12, 2018 An inexpensive way to make products incorporating nanoparticles - such as high-performance energy devices or sophisticated diagnostic tests - has been developed by researchers. The process could speed the commercial development of devices, materials and technologies that exploit the physical properties of nanoparticles, which are thousands of times thinner than a human hair. The particles' small size means they behave differently compared with conventional materials, and their unusual proper ... read more |
