Star's sensor uses carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles to tell fentanyl apart from other opioids. The key to its groundbreaking sensitivity, however, is the incorporation of fentanyl antibodies.

Based on physical and chemical characteristics, some of the important classes of nanoparticles are: Carbon-based – (fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon dots). These materials are of great ...

Examples include processes in flame-, plasma-, laser- and hot wall reactors, yielding products such as fullerenes and carbon nanotubes: – In flame reactors, nanoparticles are formed by the ...

They found that adsorption of steroid hormones on the carbon nanotubes did not limit the hormones' subsequent degradation. Steroid hormones are among the most widespread aquatic micropollutants.

Nanotechnology is also being used to improve the efficiency of fuel itself. Traditional fuels like gasoline and diesel often ...

Air pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, affecting the health of millions of people and ...
