TL;DR: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes with a mean fracture strength >100 GPa are reported, which exceeds earlier observations by a factor of approximately three and are in excellent agreement with quantum-mechanical estimates for nanot tubes containing only an occasional vacancy defect, and are approximately 80% of the values expected for defect-free tubes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attributed the close-packed and highly ordered structure of the polymers PTPD3T and PBT13T, which leads to efficient charge extraction and suppressed recombination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the synthesis of new "branched" gold nanocrystals in high yield (over 90%) via a wet-chemical route, which exhibited a shape-dependent plasmon resonance that is red-shifted by 130−180 nm from the spherical particle wavelength.

TL;DR: A new class of gold nanostructures, concave nanocubes, enclosed by 24 high-index {720} facets, have been prepared in a monodisperse fashion by a modified seed-mediated synthetic method.

TL;DR: A platform approach of water-dispersible, nanodiamond cluster-mediated interactions with several therapeutics to enhance their suspension in water with preserved functionality, thereby enabling novel treatment paradigms that were previously unrealized.
