As technology journalist David Pogue recounted, “If everything we own had improved over the last 25 years as much as electronics have, the average family car would travel four times faster than the space shuttle; houses would cost 200 bucks.” The electronics industry is one whic…

Heterogeneous photocatalysis has been identified as a means of using renewable solar energy to produce the sustainable, non-carbon fuel H 2 and a variety of useful chemical intermediates. Currently, however, heterogeneous photocatalytic reactions are too inefficient to be indust…
Nanotubes (inner diameter of 8nm and outer diameter of 10nm with a length of up to several hundred nm) and nanowires (diameter 20 – 50nm and up to several μm in length) of TiO₂-B have been synthesised and characterised for the first time. These exhibit excellent properties as a …
Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) has vast implications as a tool for nanoscience research and as a nanostructure in which nanoscale devices can be fabricated because of its regular and ordered nanopores. Self-assembly plays a critical role in pore ordering, causing nanopor…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical structures of hexagonally bonded carbon atoms with diameters of a few nanometers. CNTs are generated with different structures characterized by their diameter and chirality (twist). Two types of semiconducting CNTs are zigzag (chirality &t…
