In the rapidly expanding field of nanotechnology, quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as one of the most transformative classes of nanomaterials. Among the wide variety of quantum dots, Zinc Selenide Quantum Dots (ZnSe QDs) and…
(read more)Quantum dots (QDs) are nanometer-scale semiconductor crystals that behave like artificial atoms. Shrunk to just a few dozen to a few thousand atoms across (typically 2–10 nm), they confine electrons and holes in all three…

The field of advanced materials has undergone a revolution in recent years with the rise of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Among the vast library of MOFs, Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) has emerged as one of the…
(read more) 1) What exactly are MOFs? Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials built like molecular Tinkertoys: metal “nodes” (ions or clusters) are connected by organic linkers (often carboxylates or azolates) to form porous 3D networks. The…
(read more) As industries worldwide shift toward sustainability, bio-based nanomaterials are emerging as transformative solutions in fields ranging from packaging to construction. Among these, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) stand out due to their exceptional mechanical strength, biodegradability, renewability,…
(read more) In the race toward sustainable infrastructure, the concrete industry stands at a crucial turning point. While concrete remains the most consumed construction material globally, its environmental footprint—largely stemming from the high carbon intensity of Portland…
(read more) A Shift Toward Sustainable Materials The accelerating pace of global consumption and the demand for high-performance materials have placed intense pressure on fossil-based resources. As environmental challenges mount—ranging from plastic pollution to climate change—there is…
(read more) Overview This research focuses on the production, characterization, and biomedical potential of Cellulose Nanofiber (CNF) slurries and sheets. Conducted at the University of Maine, the work represents a significant stride toward scalable, Good Manufacturing Practice…
