Spontaneous shrinking of soft nanoparticles boosts their diffusion in confined media

Spontaneous shrinking of soft nanoparticles boosts their diffusion in confined media

Understanding the transport of nanomaterials, especially nanoparticles, through a porous medium has major implications in many different fields. Here the authors report the ability of soft nanoparticles to shrink in confined environments, therefore boosting their diffusion compared to hard, non-defo...
