This study, conducted on pomegranate seedlings in Iran, investigated how nanoparticle sprays could help plants withstand salt stress Combining chitosan and silicon nanoparticles (CTS-SiO2 NPs) was ...

Carbon black (CB) and silica (SiO2) filled elastomers are known to be the most successful polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) in industry, where “bound rubber (BR)” (i.e., polymer chains that are physically ...

The novel Al-SiO 2 ceramic coatings with good densification ability and oxidation resistance due to the stabilizing effect of Al on the K⁺ ion migration and coating structure. Recently, a team of ...

Abiotic stresses, such as drought and heat, are non-living factors that negatively affect plant growth. These stresses are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change, threatening global ...

Abstract: We show the possibility to control the Cu and the Au nanoparticles to precipitate/dissolve selectively in a SiO 2 glass matrix using UV/TR light sources with micron resolution. The ...

Abstract: Natural based fiber products are increasing productively due to the current scenario for developing various products. Kenaf fiber and Jute fiber are used in some applications to make lower ...

Perovskite cells are much cheaper and more flexible than their silicon alternatives, but they have major durability problems. A new breakthrough could be about to change that. When you purchase ...

A study by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign developed β-Mo2C nanoparticle catalysts on a SiO2 support to enhance the conversion of CO2 to CO. This new catalyst, more cost-effective than ...
