A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite …read more Continue reading Measuring Nanoparticles by Scattering a Laser
It’s a problem that few of us will ever face, but if you ever have to calibrate your scanning electron microscope, you’ll need a resolution target with a high contrast …read more Continue reading DIY Calibration Target for Electron Microscopes
Using nanoparticles, researchers have created a sensor that selectively detects levels of cortisol, a well-known stress biomarker, and is more robust than existing methods. Their cheap and easily reproducible device brings us a step closer to stress te… Continue reading At-home stress testing possible, thanks to nanoparticles
Researchers have developed technology that creates nanoscale sacs containing a compartment within a compartment, like a Russian matryoshka doll. The novel tech is capable of delivering two drugs simultaneously or at different times.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Nanoscale ‘Russian doll’ tech delivers two drugs at different times
Transparent OLED technology has come a long way since early prototypes more than a decade ago, but screens are still a pricey proposition. Korean researchers have developed a 100-inch NTS display for mass production at a tenth of the cost.Continue Read… Continue reading Researchers find cheaper way to mass produce large transparent screens
Researchers have developed drug-loaded nanoparticles that selectively target the cells responsible for causing damaging inflammation following a spinal cord injury. Given to mice soon after an injury, the novel therapy reduced inflammation and improved… Continue reading Drug-loaded nanoparticles may prevent paralysis from spinal cord injury
Researchers have used off-the-shelf components to create a sensor device that is not only cost-effective but can quickly detect 32 different pathogens and has sensitivities on par with the state-of-the-art biosensors used in pathology labs. The novel d… Continue reading Medical lab-on-a-chip runs 32 pathology tests at once
Anything related to nanotechnology feels fairly modern, doesn’t it? Although Richard Feynman planted the seeds of the idea in 1959, the word itself didn’t really get formed until the 70s …read more Continue reading Nanotechnology in Ancient Rome? There Is Evidence
As recent history proves, airborne respiratory infections are not to be trifled with. Now, a new sprayable coating applied to standard air filters might give us a leg up in the war against the pathogens that cause these diseases.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Airborne infection risk plummets in face of metal nanoparticle spray
Researchers have created a nanotherapy that selectively targets and shuts down the immune cells responsible for causing an allergic response in mice, preventing anaphylaxis. Able to be tailored to specific allergens, the novel nanomedicine could be the… Continue reading Allergy-specific nanoparticles target immune cells, prevent anaphylaxis
