Photosynthesis is considered the "Holy Grail" in the field of sustainable energy generation because it directly converts solar energy into storable fuel using nothing but water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have long tried to mimic the underlying natural...
Anna Musyanovych of the Max Plank Institute for Polymer Research reviews Biodegradable Polymers in Clinical Use and Clinical Development.
Droplets can be designed in a specific shape and pattern, which could be used to control cell growth and movement as well as to make new nanocomponents.
Workers with existing allergic conditions have worse reactions when exposed to nanoparticles, caused by a Trojan horse known as an exosome.
A nanostructure of silicon and gold is 4 times as effective at killing cancer cells in cell culture experiments as gold nanoshells alone.
How do you stick a label on something as small as a cell? Cell-labeling techniques are explained, and the use of polymer-coated nanoparticles as environment-sensitive cell labels is demonstrated by scientists in Germany and Australia.
