Chemical engineers from the University of New South Wales have synthesised a new iron oxide nanoparticle that delivers cancer…
Scientists have merged tiny gold and iron oxide particles, then added antibodies to steer them through the bloodstream towards…
Cancer researchers are not shy of using nanotechnology. Their work is making promising headway into developing safer and more effective treatments. And now, new developments in the area mean that the general…
Hearing the words “airborne nanoparticles” for the first time, one would probably ask: just how tiny are they, where do they come from, and do we need to worry about them? These tiny particles between…
Coating liquid metal droplets in a nanoparticle mix creates an extra strong non-stick conductive material that retains its shape even under high impact, Australian research has found. The breakthrough…
The sunny season has well and truly started, as has the daily summer ritual of applying sunscreen. So now is the perfect time to consider whether “nano sunscreens”, which contain UV filtering nanoparticles…
A new nanoparticle may improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy for children with neuroblastoma. The non-toxic nanoparticle…
When two gold nanoparticle spheres are pushed sufficiently close together, the gap between them acquires a red colour, as…
A new nanoparticle that can self-assemble, target and deliver thermo-chemotherapy has been developed. Using DNA’s ability…
Human skin can tolerate the tiny metal oxide nanoparticles found in some sunscreens just as well as larger and organic alternatives, the latest tests by RMIT University researchers show. The finding comes…
