Deposition of CTAB-Terminated Nanorods on Bacteria to Form Highly Conducting Hybrid Systems

Interaction of nanoparticles with biological systems ranging from biomolecules to biological cells is of importance for a range of applications, such as high-resolution biomedical imaging,(1) gene sequencing for molecular diagnostics,(2) and sensitive electronic devices(3). In this report, we demonstrate that positively charged cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), which is a stabilizing agent used to synthesize different metal [...]

Toyota, Honda, Or GM Hybrid Cars?

Electric cars look like conventional cars aesthetically, both when it comes to exterior and interior. The same great and pretty designs are available, and friends and family will hardly be able to tell the difference. Electric cars and hybrid electric cars offer the lowest emissions available, with hybrid vehicles being the most practical. If emissions [...]
