“Nano” of course means “billionth of”. Nanoscience has been defined as the science of matter with characteristic lengths ranging from 1nm to 100nm. In practice, nanoscience is a collection of portions of traditional disciplines. That is, it is a union of subdisciplines. Here are just a few of the component subdisciplines: materials chemistry, polymer science, colloid chemistry, crystal growth, ...

Nanoscience emerged as a field addressing phenomena that are strongly related to and influenced by their length scale being in the nanometer range. From the very beginning its interdisciplinary character became obvious. Meanwhile, after nanoscience had left its infancy, this characteristic feature developed even further by extension of the contributing disciplines: Initially it was supported an...

Discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) are nanomaterials with sizes ranging from 2 to 6 nm, and they are emerging as one-dimensional organic semiconducting materials. Recently, hybridization of these materials with various metallic and semiconducting nanoparticles (NPs) to alter and improve their properties has been realized. This article provides an overview of the developments in the field of newly ...

WE are all aware of the use of ultrasound radiation in medicine, where it is being used mostly for diagnosis, and where more recently, focused ultrasound radiation is being used to destroy cancer cells. Less is known of its application in chemistry, despite the fact that it has applications across almost the entire breadth of that field. One of the main advantages in conducting sonochemical exp...
