Hollow carbon nanobubbles paper featured in FAZ
The research of Corinne Hofer has been published as hot paper in Angewandte Chemie and has been featured in the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) and further news platforms.
Hollow carbon nanobubbles: Water-dispersible, carbon-based nanobubbles, synthesized by metal templating, spontaneously take up cargo by hydrophobic interactions. The slow release of the cargo follows an unexpected out-of-equilibrium (hysteretic) behavior.
