A sphere of material with a diameter of only a few nanometres.
the silicon vapour condenses to form silicon nanospheres, which collect together in long strings
Example sentencesExamples
The scientists conducted their research by trapping a glass nanosphere in a laser beam and suspending it in air.
The polystyrene nanosphere with a silica coating heated to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Our analysis shows that all interesting physics here takes place in a small area around the nanosphere where the near field and the atom-nanosphere coupling essentially affect the radiative properties of the atom.
The nanospheres are transparent, but bend and scatter the light that passes through them in predictable ways according to the angle that the light takes when it hits the nanosphere.
"Scientists thought they could use C60, a hollow carbon nanosphere, measuring one nanometre in diameter," explains another author of the study.
The tumour cells, which are characteristically slightly acidic, caused the nanosphere to "deform" and release the drugs at the exact site of the cancer cells.
In these experiments, each nanosphere in the sample acts as an independent, freely oscillating sphere.
The researchers also showed that it is possible to control the ratio of movement in the two directions by changing the diameter of the nanosphere.
It is shown that Mie's solution to Maxwell's equations no longer holds for the analysis of resonance of a plasmonic metal nanosphere.
