Eliminating resistant bacteria with nanoparticles Novel nanoparticles developed by researchers at ETH Zurich and Empa detect multi-resistant bacteria hiding in body cells and kill them. The scientists’ goal is to develop an antibacterial agent that […]
Energy transmission by gold nanoparticles coupled to DNA structures Using DNA structures as scaffolds, Tim Liedl, a scientist of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich, has shown that precisely positioned gold nanoparticles can serve as efficient energy […]
Researchers identify nanoparticles that could deliver therapeutic mRNA before birth Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania have identified ionizable lipid nanoparticles that […]
Engineers observe avalanches in nanoparticles for the first time Researchers at Columbia Engineering report today that they have developed the first nanomaterial that demonstrates “photon avalanching,” a process that is unrivaled in its combination of […]
Sound waves spin droplets to concentrate, separate nanoparticles Mechanical engineers at Duke University have devised a method for spinning individual droplets of liquid to concentrate and separate nanoparticles for biomedical purposes. The technique is much […]
Researchers identify the physical mechanism that can kill bacteria with gold nanoparticles Finding alternatives to antibiotics is one of the biggest challenges facing the research community. Bacteria are increasingly resistant to these drugs, and this […]
