When the researchers supplemented tomato plants’ soil with silicon-containing nanoparticles and exposed the plants to pinworm moths, the tomato stems produced a mysterious dark goo at the base ...

That foundation is often a meticulously prepared silicon wafer or other substrate, tailored to the precise requirements of the experiment. “We understand that success in nanoparticle research ...

At the same time, silicone waste disposal remains a challenge due to its slow degradation. To address both issues, researchers have transformed these wastes into nanoparticles with ...
