Carving at the nanoscale for production of complex hollow particles
Researchers have successfully developed a new synthesis method for producing a wide variety of complex hollow nanoparticles. The method applies Kirkendall and galvanic exchange in a novel manner to produce highly complex nanostructures. These nanomaterials can be used for design and configuration of sensors, vehicles for drug delivery, controlled nanoscale reactions, nanoantennas, etc.
