Success May Promote Solar Heat Utilization Based on Plasmon Resonance of Ceramic Materials A research team in Japan discovered through numerical calculations that nanoparticles of transition... Read more
Australian researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a method for embedding light-emitting nanoparticles into glass without losing any of their unique properties – a major ste... Read more
New drug-delivery approach holds potential for treating obesity Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed nanoparticles that can deliver antiobesity drugs directly t... Read more
Scientists are working diligently to prepare for the expected increase in global population — and therefore an increased need for food production— in the coming decades. A team of engineers... Read more
Researchers are now working to design stable micro-bubbles which, combined with ultrasound, can deliver cancer drugs straight to the target tumour. The project recently started up in Trondhe... Read more
First Injectable Nanoparticle Generator Could Radically Transform Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment
Landmark preclinical study cured lung metastases in 50 percent of breast cancers by making nanoparticles inside the tumor A team of investigators from Houston Methodist Research Institute ma... Read more
New technologies are starved for efficient and inexpensive catalysts. The best materials are made up of nanoparticles, whose properties are the result of their small size. The single catalys... Read more
