When created at the nanoscale, materials can resemble shapes like stars, rods or even pyramids. These particle shapes, also ...

What if a material’s shape could change how it stores energy? Star-like nanostructures enable faster, surface-driven storage ...

Star-shaped vanadium hydroxide nanoparticles show that changing a material's shape from sheets to stars shifts its energy ...

Scientists have engineered a nanowire platform that mimics brain tissue to study astrocytes, the star-shaped cells critical for brain health, for the first time in their natural state. Astrocytes are ...
