TL;DR: Transmission electron microscopy characterizations reveal that the gold nanorods grown from both types of gold nanoparticle seeds are single-crystalline and that thegold bipyramids are penta-twinned.

TL;DR: The use of inorganic salts during the synthesis of mesoporous materials with block copolymers can dramatically widen the syntheses domain (in temperature, surfactant concentration, etc.) and broaden the range of surfactants that can be utilized to produce highly ordered mesostructures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used density functional calculations and single-crystal x-ray diffraction measurements to study structure and bonding in the solid state clathrates Ba8Ga16Ge30, Ba8ga16Si30, Sr8Ga 16Ge30 and Ba8In16Sn30, and found that the resultant structures are substantially more stable than the constituent elements in their standard states at room temperature and pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical and biological aspects involved in nanoparticle systems having multiple functions such as optical and magnetic resonance imaging capabilities with incorporated bioactive molecules are discussed under the context of health (safety) and ethical concerns.
