Medicine Carbon-based Nanomaterials Proposed to Use in Cancer Treatment (Medicine) 20 Mar 2021 Chinese scientists have recently investigated that carboxylated nanodiamonds (cNDs) could promote the adhesion of tumor cells to the underlying substrate, and motility of tumor cells are therefore limited. The cNDs…
Material science Scientists Achieve Self-assembly of 2D Nonclose-Packed Binary Au Nanoparticle Arrays with Tunable Optical Properties (Material Science) 20 Mar 2021 A binary nanoparticle array refers to a periodic structure comprising at least two types of building nanoparticles with component or morphological dissimilarities. Synthetic binary arrays can not only boost structural…
Medicine Color Blindness-correcting Contact Lenses (Medicine) 4 Mar 2021 Imagine seeing the world in muted shades — gray sky, gray grass. Some people with color blindness see everything this way, though most can’t see specific colors. Tinted glasses can…
PHYSICS Scientists Create Flexible Biocompatible Cilia That Can Be Controlled by a Magnet (Physics) 10 Feb 2021 Filaments made of polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles are obtained by exposing the material to a magnetic field under controlled temperature; the applications are myriad and include transporting substances into cells…
Nanotechnology Researchers Produce Special Nanoparticles and Reveal Their Inner Structure For the First Time (Nanotechnology) 8 Feb 2021 Tiny nanoparticles can be furnished with dyes and could be used for new imaging techniques, as chemists and physicists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) show in a recent study.…
Medicine Yale Researchers Develop Injection to Treat Skin Cancer (Medicine) 3 Feb 2021 Yale researchers are developing a skin cancer treatment that involves injecting nanoparticles into the tumor, killing cancer cells with a two-pronged approach, as a potential alternative to surgery. The results…
Material science Physicists Have Developed New Material For Water Desalination (Material Science) 1 Feb 2021 Titanium dioxide nanoparticles decorated by gold absorb about 96% of the solar spectrum and turn it into heat. The material can accelerate the evaporation in desalination plants up to 2.5…
