Laser ablation is a highly versatile technique that underpins the synthesis of nanoparticles with exceptional structural and functional attributes. By directing high-energy laser pulses onto a bulk ...

Nanoparticles exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to bulk materials, making them valuable in applications such as electronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, and biomedical sciences.

Scientists from the University of the Philippines–Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS) have advanced a greener approach to silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis by using gamma irradiation in combination ...

A lab-on-a-disc system enables 90 precise and reproducible nanoparticle syntheses in minutes by automatically controlling reagent concentrations across parallel reactions with minimal manual input.

Researchers have developed smart nanoparticles that can seek out and destroy disease-causing proteins the body can’t normally eliminate. Unlike traditional drugs, these particles can reach ...

Scientists have developed a new nanoparticle-based strategy that could dramatically expand the range of disease-causing proteins that can be targeted by modern medicine. A newly released perspective i ...

A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ending up in an acidic environment. Vaccines and other medicines are ...

The biodegradable polymer Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely regarded as safe for use in medical applications, seeing common use in the creation of particles used in in vivo studies.

A newly published Perspective article in Nature Nanotechnology details groundbreaking nanoparticle technology to eliminate ...

Though the sun produces more energy than we would ever need on Earth, current ...

A new generation of “theranostic” nanoparticles has been shown to both detect and reduce plaques in the arteries. Nanoparticles absorbed by immune cells in the arteries, where they work to lower ...
