Scientists have developed the first tri-continuous mesoporous material using a unique surfactant template. This completely new porous structure previously been predicted only mathematically. Singapore ...

Mesoporous materials with tunable non-oxidic framework compositions can exhibit new kinds of functionality including internal surfaces with high polarizability. As the chemical and physical ...

(Nanowerk News) Carbon-supported single-atom catalysts (SACs) are promising in heterogeneous catalysis due to their high atomic utilization efficiency and unique catalytic performances. However, ...

Materials with porous features that have been particularly ordered on the nano-scale have key applications in drug delivery systems, diagnostics, optics, cosmetics, catalysis, coatings, bio-separation ...

In 2012, researchers from the Division of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials at Uppsala University in Sweden created Upsalite®, a form of mesoporous magnesium carbonate (MMC) that until then, had ...

Along with biocompatibility, MSNs boast a high surface area and facile surface tunability. The former has led to MSNs being described as "nanosponges", as their high surface area allows particles to ...
