Preeclampsia is a potentially deadly condition that affects 4% to 8% of pregnant women worldwide, but the condition can be difficult to diagnose. Now, a team of Australian researchers has developed a quick and accurate new test using nanoparticle-based… Continue reading Novel biomarkers enable new rapid test for preeclampsia

3D printing by painting with light beams on a vat of liquid plastic was once the stuff of science fiction, but now is very much science-fact. More than that, it’s …read more Continue reading Holograms: The Future of Speedy Nanoscale 3D Printing?
Peanut and tree nut allergies affect around three million Americans, yet there’s only one approved treatment and it only tackles its severity. And despite the amount of research behind finding a way to counter, or cure, this often deadly condition, the… Continue reading First-of-its-kind mRNA treatment could wipe out a peanut allergy
Developing effective treatments for genetic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis has proven challenging. That might not be the case for much longer, with scientists developing a new type of nanoparticle that can carry gene-editing technology directly … Continue reading New nanoparticles deliver gene-editing tech directly into the lungs
The delivery of electrical impulses to different areas of the brain has been used for years to help alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, as well as a range of other afflictions. However, the current method of dispatching the zaps involves implanting a pacemaker-like device in the chest and then running wires through holes in the skull to the relevant brain areas. A new technique using piezoelectric nanoparticles that are activated via bursts of ultrasound has shown promise as a wire-free way of stimulating the brain.

Researchers have developed a new open-source program that can convert drawings or digital models into nanoscale sculptures made of DNA. In tests, the system nailed rounded objects like vases and bowls.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: DNA, Nano, N… Continue reading DNA origami system creates tiny, self-assembling pots and vases
While anti-fog sprays work to a certain extent, warming a glass surface is a better way of keeping it fog-free. A new coating material is designed to do so, and it utilizes light-absorbing gold nanoparticles instead of electricity.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Gold nano-coating works like an anti-fog heating element for glasses
Autoimmune diseases are a common health problem, and while system-wide immune suppression can help relieve symptoms, this can cause other complications. In a new study, scientists at Scripps Research developed nanoparticles that can selectively target … Continue reading Immune-regulating nanoparticles prevent arthritis in susceptible mice
