Germanium nanocrystals (Ge NCs) have emerged as versatile semiconducting materials whose size-tunable optical characteristics suit applications from photonic devices to biomedical theranostics.

Chiral germanium centers are historically undervalued due to their extremely limited synthetic accessibility. Although germanium shares similar chemical properties with silicon, synthesizing chiral ...

Like carbon and silicon, germanium’s lighter brethren on the periodic table, the metalloid can bond to four different groups, forming a chiral, tetrahedral molecule. Researchers at Nankai University ...

Nanoparticles exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to bulk materials, making them valuable in applications such as electronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, and biomedical sciences.

A team of researchers succeeded in adapting an AI system to reliably assist with making nanoparticle measurements which speeds up the research process significantly. Nanoparticle researchers spend ...
