TL;DR: In this article, high-quality densely packed hexagonal arrays of Ni nanowires have been prepared by filling self-ordered nanopores in alumina membranes, which have been studied by atomic force, high resolution scanning electron microscopies, Rutherford backscattering, and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the photocatalytic and antibacterial activity of TiO 2 nanoparticles synthesized by laser ablation in water was studied, and an explanation of the high photo-activity yield was proposed taking into account the nanoparticles structure resulting from the peculiar synthesis procedure.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel Ni nanofoam electrode has been fabricated by low-cost methods and applied for non-enzymatic glucose sensing, which showed a glucose sensitivity of 2.37 mA/cm2 mM, a linear range of 0.01 − 0.7 mM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 5μM.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an approach based on the incorporation of several nanomaterials into polymeric composites as a valid solution to overcome many of the current issues involving water quality, but several limitations exist for efficient applications, primarily concerning the dispersion of such nanomorphs in water, their recovery after water treatment and the resulting impact on human health and ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this article, magnetic nanoparticles self-assemble under particular conditions into spherical superstructures, like CoNi nanoparticles, or planar structures with hexagonal ordering, like FePt nanoparticles.
