Nanothermometer
(28 Oct 2005)
Tiny gold spheres with a corona of semiconductor nanoparticles show temperature-dependent glow
Small, smaller, nano-nanoscopic particles that can be arranged into controlled superstructures are the stuff from which future "intelligent" materials with new functions could be made. American researchers at the University of Michigan and Ohio ...
