Rice ‘metalens’ could disrupt vacuum UV market
Rice photonics researchers have created a potentially disruptive technology for the ultraviolet optics market.
3D camera earns its stripes at Rice
The Hyperspectral Stripe Projector captures spectroscopic and 3D imaging data.
Quantum dots keep atoms spaced to boost catalysis
Rice engineers use graphene quantum dots to trap transition metals for high atom loading in single atom catalysis.
‘Flashed’ nanodiamonds are just a phase
The “flash” process developed at Rice University can turn carbon black into functionalized nanodiamond and other materials. The carbon atoms evolved through several phases depending on the length of the flash.
Rice lab peers inside 2D crystal synthesis
Scientific studies describing the most basic processes often have the greatest impact in the long run. A new work by Rice University engineers could be one such, and it’s a gas, gas, gas for nanomaterials.
Silver ions hurry up, then wait as they disperse
There’s gold in them thar nanoparticles, and there used to be a lot of silver, too. But much of the silver has leached away, and researchers want to know how.
Teamwork makes light shine ever brighter
If you’re looking for one technique to maximize photon output from plasmons, stop. It takes two to wrangle.
‘Defective’ carbon simplifies hydrogen peroxide production
Rice scientists introduce a new catalyst to reduce oxygen to widely used hydrogen peroxide.
A little soap simplifies making 2D nanoflakes
The right combination of surfactant, water and processing can maximize the quality of 2D hexagonal boron nitride for such products as antibacterial films.
Rice ‘flashes’ new 2D materials.
Rice scientists extend their technique to produce graphene in a flash to tailor the properties of 2D dichalcogenides, quickly turning them into metastable metallics for electronic and optical applications.
Flashing plastic ash completes recycling
Rice ‘flashes’ new 2D materials
2D compound shows unique versatility
‘Soft’ nanoparticles give plasmons new potential
Bigger is not always better, but here’s something that starts small and gets better as it gets bigger.
