Bimetallic gold/platinum nanorod motors spontaneously move towards hydrogen peroxide fuel when they are placed in a fuel gradient, the first time this behavior has been seen outside of the biological world. Download
Penn State Center for Nanoscale Science (2020)
The Center for Nanoscale Science supports collaborative, interdisciplinary research efforts on nanoscale materials. Principal research activities are organized into two interdisciplinary research groups: 2D Polar Metals & Heterostructures and Crystalline Oxides with High Entropy. Center-initiated programs encourage collaborative partnerships with science museums and non-R1 universities as well as engagement in outreach, education, and workforce development initiatives.
