Synthetic nanoparticles are artificially manufactured particles that have dimensions in the nanoscale range (typically 1 to 100 nanometers). These particles can be made of a wide variety of materials ...

A new way to neutralize coronavirus and other membrane-surrounded viruses has been discovered by researchers from the Swedish ...

Scientists have identified nanoparticles that latch onto and destroy virus membranes, opening new possibilities for antiviral ...

Whereas Mueller and Nowack have examined three different nanomaterials in one study, tailoring the risk assessment methods to the types of nanoparticles will be needed. Being on the nanoscale is ...

Colloidal nanoparticles are particles that operate at the nanoscale, specifically between 1 to 1000 nanometers, suspended in a fluid. These nanoparticles can consist of various materials, such as ...

Nanoparticles of silver are added to a special type of sock. These silver nanoparticles kill the bacteria that lead to smelly feet. Catalysts close catalystA substance that changes the rate of a ...

A team of researchers from NUS has developed a novel method to enhance the precision of cancer treatment using gold ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs ... But that is just one application: LNPs can carry many different types of payload, and have applications beyond vaccines. Barbara Mui has been working on LNPs ...

“The goal of delivery using a nanoparticle to only one cell type in the body is an impossible dream,” said Siegwart. He thinks that researchers should instead focus on maximizing enrichment in the ...

According to a study published in Advanced Functional Materials on November 24th, 2024, a group of researchers led by ...
