A new method for creating a form of graphene with carbon dioxide sucked from the air has been announced with misleading claims.
We need to carefully assess nanomaterials to ensure their safety, but there are questions over whether the existing practice of risk assessment is up to the task.
Tiny nanoparticles emitted during building work can enter your lungs and bloodstream.
New research could into nanoparticles could help deliver drugs straight to the site of tumours and make them more effective when they get there.
Earlier this week, The Conversation reported that, “The future is bright, the future is … quantum dot televisions.” And judging by the buzz coming from this week’s annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES…
Recently the American publication Mother Jones published an article on the dangers of food laced with tiny metal oxide particles. The article, however, is laced with errors and misinformation. The source…
A world-first computer model that simulates cancer growth has been developed by an Australian PhD student. The device has…
Nanoparticles — or nanomaterials, as they are often called — are chemical objects with dimensions in the range of 1-100 nanometres (nm). Particles this tiny are hard to imagine, but it may help to think…
A new nanoparticle that can be taken orally has been developed, making injections of particles no longer necessary. Nanoparticles…
Major advances in technology are being spawned by the synthesis and application of nanoparticles and nanocomposites. The nanotechnology revolution offers great promise for major advances in medicine, manufacturing…
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…
