Sponge-like nanostructures develop under Ar-ion implantation of a Ni-Bi bilayer with increasing ion fluence at room temperature. The surface morphology features different stages of evolution as a function of ion fluence, ...

Nanocrystalline tungsten nitride (nc-W2N) embedded amorphous silicon nitride (a-Si3N4) nanocomposite films (nc-W2N/a-Si3N4) were grown by reactive magnetron sputtering. The films were prepared at 300 C substrate temperature ...

Improvement in aesthetic look of low grade natural ruby (gemstone) surface was clearly evident after fusion mixture treatment. Surface impurities of the gemstone were significantly reduced to give it a face lift. The ...

DNA adopts different conformation not only because of novel base pairs but also while interacting with inorganic or organic compounds. Self-assembled branched DNA (bDNA) structures or DNA origami that change conformation ...

A green approach was envisaged for the rapid synthesis of stable silver nanoparticles in an aqueous medium using phenolic rich ethanolic bark extract from D. indica with marked free radical scavenging and reducing ability. ...
