IIT Guwahati uses lasers to engineer nanoparticles

IIT Guwahati researchers used high-intensity lasers and heat to precisely control molybdenum oxide nanoparticles. This eco-friendly method avoids harsh chemicals, creating materials that can either store energy in supercapacitors or kill cancer cells via photothermal therapy. This breakthrough paves the way for smarter sensors and more efficient, long-lasting lithium-ion batteries.
