McGill University: McGill researchers develop a cheaper, safer material for use in solar panels, sensors and optical devices . “Using proteins from a common tobacco plant virus, McGill chemistry researchers have developed a simple, eco-friendly way to arrange gold nanoparticles into ultrathin sheets, strengthening the particles’ optical properties. The result: cheaper, safer materials for […]

💠 Can a crystal have different magnetic properties in alternating domains?

👉 Check out in our latest work, how close we can get to such scenario. A "topotactic jump" into a miscibility gap allows #synthesis of metastable crystalline spinel nanoflakes with alternating ferri- and antiferromagnetic domains.
