Controlling a Nanoparticle’s Position with Light
An optomechanical trap capable of controlling and measuring nanoparticles as small as 150 nm has been developed by researchers at the University of Vienna and Delft University of Technology. Using a photonic crystal cavity made of silicon nitride on a silicon substrate, a silica particle can be trapped a few hundred nanometres above the crystal surface, within the interference between the 1064 ...

Potsdam researchers use Malvern Zetasizer Nano in gold nanoparticle research
Researchers at the University of Potsdam, Germany, are using a Zetasizer Nano ZS from Malvern Instruments to measure the dimensions and stability of gold nanoparticles smaller than 5 nm in diameter. Gold has long been considered as an inert element, but in nanoparticulate form it can be very reactive. For particles under 5 nm the surface electrons increasingly dominate the properties of the ...

Nanoparticles in the home: more and smaller than previously detected
Extremely small nanoscale particles are released by common kitchen appliances in abundant amounts, greatly outnumbering the previously detected, larger-size nanoparticles emitted by these appliances, according to new findings* by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). So-called “ultrafine particles” (UFP) range in size from 2 to 10 nanometers. They are emitted ...
