Pressure-induced fabrication of Janus nanoparticles and helically decorating nanorods
These nanoparticles can find immediate applications in active and living systems for various purposes, such as self-propelled activity, environmental sensor, drug delivery and so on. Unlike chemistry-based techniques which take hours, this newly launched mechanical fabrication approach takes only several minutes at current stage. This breakthrough result has been reported at the early on-line release on 8 June 2017 at the Journal of the American Chemical Society [1].
