Silicon carbide nanocrystals are water-soluble, chemically inert, and highly fluorescent, and they may be idealas biological labels. After the uptake of3C–SiC nanocrystals, human fetal osteoblast (hFOB) cells exhibit brightgreen–yellow fluorescence (see image).The nanoparticles show high resistancea...

The conformations and redox states of ferricytochrome c, before and after adsorption onto the surface of the indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles, are studied to reveal the interaction nature between the cytochrome c and the conducting metal oxide surface. The characterizations with resonance Raman ...

Silicon carbide (core third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor) nanowires have superior characteristics and vital engineering potential in microelectric and photonic devices operating in harsh high-temperature and strong-irradiation environments. Herein, the dense monocrystalline forest-like 4H- ...
