Selective Colorimetric Detection of Polynucleotides Based on the Distance-Dependent Optical Properties of Gold Nanoparticles

A highly selective, colorimetric polynucleotide detection method based on mercaptoalkyloligonucleotide-modified gold nanoparticle probes is reported. Introduction of a single-st...

Photoinduced Conversion of Silver Nanospheres to Nanoprisms

A photoinduced method for converting large quantities of silver nanospheres into triangular nanoprisms is reported. The photo-process has been characterized by time-dependent ul...

Synthesis and Hydrogen Sorption Properties of Carborane Based Metal−Organic Framework Materials

The synthesis and hydrogen uptake properties of metal−organic framework (MOFs) materials based on carboranes have been investigated. These are the first MOFs to make use of boro...
