The color display technology delivers bright red blue and green hues from five-micron-square pixels that each contains several hundred aluminum nanorods.
By varying the length of the nanorods and the spacing between them researchers Stephan Link and Jana Olson showed they could create pixels that produced dozens of colors including rich tones of red green
because it s compatible with microelectronic production methods but until now the tones produced by plasmonic aluminum nanorods have been muted
and washed outsays Link associate professor of chemistry at Rice and the lead researcher on the PNAS study. he key advancement here was to place the nanorods in an ordered array. lson says the array setup allowed her to tune the pixel s color in two
ways first by varying the length of the nanorods and second by adjusting the length of the spaces between nanorods. his arrangement allowed us to narrow the output spectrum to one individual color instead of the typical muted shades that are produced usually by aluminum nanoparticlesshe adds.
Olson s five-micron-square pixels are about 40 times smaller than the pixels used in commercial LCD displays.
To make the pixels she used aluminum nanorods that each measured about 100 nanometers long by 40 nanometers wide.
She used electron-beam deposition to create arrays regular arrangements of nanorods in each pixel.
and the inherent directionality of the nanorods provides another advantage. ecause the nanorods in each array are aligned in the same direction our pixels produce polarized lighthe says. his means we can do away with one polarizer in our setup
Adding silver nanorods to the graphene film would increase the conductivity to the same as copper,
and Chemical Biology and Professor Walter Kolch in Systems Biology Ireland synthesised nanorods with a long iron segment coated with polyethylene glycol
The team believe that Fe-Au functionalised nanorods used in conjunction with these drugs could be useful in cancer treatment.
After characterising and tuning the interaction of the nanorods with the cells the research team assessed how the cells respond to mechanical stimulation.
and used a novel microfluidic chip to monitor the interaction of individual nanorods with two human breast cancer cell lines that express the Erbb family of receptors at different rates.
When the HRG-nanorods bind to cancer cells expressing Erbb they kick off a cascade of signalling events that lead to cell death.
The researchers combined semiconductor nanorods and carbon nanotubes to create a wireless light-sensitive flexible film that could potentially replace a damaged retina.
and semiconductor nanorod film will serve as a compact replacement for damaged retinas. We are still far away from actually replacing the damaged retina said Dr. Bareket.

#Method for symmetry-breaking in feedback-driven self-assembly of optical metamaterials (Phys. org) If you can uniformly break the symmetry of nanorod pairs in a colloidal solution you're a step ahead of the game toward achieving new and exciting metamaterial properties.
Starting with a solution of colloidal nanorods Yang and Ni built on the common self-assembly technique used to build nanoparticles.
The desired product when synthesizing colloidal gold nanorods which are stabilized during growth to obtain preferential bonding along longitudinal facets is pairs of rods
You have a pair of nanorods with no shift at all relative to one another; or a pair that are shifted too much;
This allowed them to separate out the undesired resonances indicating nanorod pairs that are shifted not the desired amount
and testing them on skin we have shown that positively charged nanorod shaped nanoparticles are two to six times more effective at penetrating skin than others says lead author Dr Antonios Kanaras.
#Pentagonal nanorods show catalytic promise Pentagonal nanorods have a unique morphology that confers interesting compositional
Now, researchers in Singapore have developed a simple chemical process to grow uniform pentagonal nanorods composed of gold and copper.
"We successfully synthesized goldopper pentagonal nanorods with controlled size and composition by a seed-mediated growth route,"explains lead researcher Jackie Ying from the A*STAR Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology.
To create the nanorods, the team placed the gold seeds in a solution containing a copper precursor and applied heat a process that produced nearly uniform pentagonal nanorods.
Ying's team showed that they could control the length of these nanorods by changing the amount of gold seeds added to the copper precursor.
Adding a 1: 1 ratio of gold to copper produced nanorods that grew approximately 15 nanometers in length while a 1: 2 ratio produced nanorods approximately 19 nanometers long,
and a 1: 3 ratio produced nanorods approximately 24 nanometers long. The diameter of the nanorods remained the same,
however, regardless of the ratio of metals used. The ability to control the size and composition of the nanorods means it is easier to control the properties of the bimetallic goldopper nanoparticles compared to nanoparticles made of just one metal,
Yang explains. Next, the team evaluated the catalytic activity of these goldopper nanorods in a carbonitrogen-bond-forming reactionhe direct alkylation of an amine using an alcohol."
"This hydrogen-borrowing strategy is an attractive synthetic method for the C bond formation as it is an environmentally friendly process
which produces only water as a byproduct, "says Ying. The nanorods were examined as catalysts for this reaction using the model substrates p-toluene sulphonamide and benzyl alcohol."
"Our heterogeneous catalyst showed higher catalytic activity toward the C coupling reaction and better recyclability compared to commercially available catalysts,
Her team now plans to use the nanorods as seeds themselves to synthesize nanoparticles comprised of a goldopper core surrounded by a shell of another material, such as platinum, for energy applications
or stretched creates a voltage by converting energy from motion into electrical energy, in the form of nanorods.
The nanorods can be coated onto various surfaces in different locations making the energy harvesting quite versatile.
the nanorods then generate a high voltage. The nanorods respond to vibration and movement created by everyday sound,
such as our voices. Electrical contacts on both sides of the rods are used then to harvest the voltage to charge a Phone in order to make it possible to produce these nanogenerators at scale
whereby they could spray on the nanorod chemicals almost like nanorod graffiti to cover a plastic sheet in a layer of zinc oxide.
the nanorods grew all over the surface of the sheet. Secondly, gold is used traditionally as an electrical contact
Propinquity creates conditions that produce nanorods, nanowires and nanosheets at chosen thicknesses and lengths rather than the one-size-fits-all output of a chemical process, with no environmentally harmful residues.
Adding silver nanorods to the graphene film would increase the conductivity to the same as copper,
(as in nanorods) and/or materials in which cooling is already naturally slower like Pbte.
