Researchers from the University of Southampton, working with colleagues at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), have developed a new technology based on nanoparticles…
Rice chemists discover mechanism in controlled growth of tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles. Nature clearly likes symmetry. Look at your own hands, for example. But sometimes nature produces…
X-rays reveal compositional changes on active surface under reaction conditions. A DESY-led research team has been using high-intensity X-rays to observe a single catalyst nanoparticle…
A UCLA-led team of engineers and chemists has taken a major step forward in the development of microbial fuel cells — a technology that utilizes…
Physicists at the University of Bath in the UK observe a new physical effect in chiral (twisted) nanoparticles. Physics researchers at the University of Bath…
Using nanoparticles that store and gradually release light, engineers create light-emitting plants that can be charged repeatedly. Using specialized nanoparticles embedded in plant leaves, MIT…
These Fridge-Free COVID Vaccines Are Grown in Plants and Bacteria Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed COVID-19 vaccine candidates that can…
An alum and several researchers at UCF have used nanotechnology to develop the cleaning agent, which protects against seven viruses for up to seven days….
Very recently, researchers led by Markus Aspelmeyer at the University of Vienna and Lukas Novotny at ETH Zurich cooled a glass nanoparticle into the quantum…
PhD student discovers that solar radiation could be a more important source of lunar iron nanoparticles than previously thought. Tiny iron nanoparticles unlike any found…
Researchers have developed a ‘library of properties’ to help identify the environmental impact of nanomaterials faster and more cost-effectively. Whilst nanomaterials have benefited a wide…
Diagnostic nanoparticles could be used to monitor tumor recurrence after treatment or to perform routine cancer screenings. Most of the tests that doctors use to…
Researchers have found a way to enhance radiation therapy using novel iodine nanoparticles. Cancer cell death is triggered within three days when X-rays are shone…
New biodegradable nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy that enter cancer cells and ‘shut down’ their mitochondria power stations co-designed by TU/e researchers. An emerging nanomedicine cancer…
New research shows that the protein that causes Alzheimer’s Disease’s hallmark brain plaques clings to certain bowl-shaped nanoparticles, allowing researchers to better understand the disease…
The vaccine, made of disease-fighting proteins, could boost efficacy, accelerate production of seasonal flu vaccines. An experimental flu vaccine consisting of billions of tiny spherical…
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles decorated by gold absorb about 96% of the solar spectrum and turn it into heat. The material can accelerate the evaporation in…
Color changes of gold nanoparticles under the skin reveal concentration changes of substances in the body. The idea of implantable sensors that continuously transmit information…
