A brand new examine discovered that small quantities of silver nanoparticles mixed with a low dose of a typical antibiotic inhibited the expansion of resistant micro organism.

Researchers describe a brand new household of nano-scale capsules fabricated from silica that may carry genome-editing instruments into many organs across the physique after which harmlessly dissolve.

Engineers have developed a tool that makes use of sound waves to separate and type the tiniest particles present in blood, in a matter of minutes. The expertise relies on an idea referred to as 'digital pillars' and might be a boon to each scientific analysis and medical functions.

Physicists have developed tiny translucent slides able to producing two very totally different photographs by manipulating the route during which gentle travels by them.

An influenza vaccine administered by the nostril and constructed with nanoparticles that improve immune response provides sturdy safety towards completely different influenza virus strains, in keeping with researchers.

A possible new path to the prognosis and remedy of ARDS comes from finding out how neutrophils -- the white blood cells liable for detecting and eliminating dangerous particles within the physique -- differentiate what supplies to uptake by the fabric's floor construction, and favor uptake of particles that exhibit ...

Researchers have found a brand new technique to enhance the toughness of supplies that might result in stronger variations of physique armor, bulletproof glass and different ballistic tools. The workforce produced movies composed of nanometer-scale ceramic particles adorned with polymer strands (resembling fuzzy orbs) and made them targets in miniature ...

With the intention to perceive catalysts, now we have to know how chemical reactions evolve on nanoparticles. Totally different sides of the particles can have totally different properties, resulting in intriguing 'chemical waves'.

A crew of researchers has proven that fluorescent nanoparticles positioned close to a mirror generate distinctive patterns that can be utilized to pinpoint their location.

Researchers have demonstrated that stretching shape-memory polymers embedded with clusters of gold nanoparticles alters their plasmon-coupling, giving rise to fascinating optical properties. One potential utility for the fabric is a sensor that depends on optical properties to trace an object or setting's thermal historical past.
