Nanoprecipitation, also known as solvent displacement or interfacial deposition, is a widely used method for the synthesis of nanoparticles. It involves the precipitation of a dissolved material from ...

Nanoparticles exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to bulk materials, making them valuable in applications such as electronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, and biomedical sciences.

Researchers created copper oxide nanoparticles using thyme extract, targeting antibiotic resistance and cancer. These nanoparticles killed common bacteria, boosted antibiotic effectiveness, and slowed ...

Inorganic nanoparticles are nanoscale materials composed of inorganic compounds, such as metals, metal oxides, and semiconductors. These nanoparticles typically have sizes ranging from 1 to 100 ...

In recent years, mRNA in lipid nanoparticles (mRNA–LNPs) has emerged as a promising strategy for treating numerous conditions ...

The delivery of experimental materials to individual cells with exactness and exclusivity has long been an elusive and much sought-after ability in biology. With it comes the promise of deciphering ...

In science and engineering, impressive technical feats sometimes draw on the arts—such is the case for a new study in Nature. First author Ahyoung Kim started taking pottery classes during the second ...

The tiny fatty capsules that deliver COVID-19 mRNA vaccines into billions of arms may work better when they're a little disorganized. That's the surprising finding from researchers who developed a new ...

Across the U.S., hundreds of sites on land or in lakes and rivers are heavily contaminated with hazardous waste produced by human activity. Many of these places, designated as Superfund sites by the ...
