A near-infrared light beam appears harmless, as it is a low-frequency type of light that does not have a dramatic effect but ...

To avoid effects throughout the body, researchers packaged an existing immunotherapy drug into engineered nanoparticles. The tiny particles travel through the bloodstream and release and activate the ...

Engineers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have developed modular nanoparticles that can be easily customized to target different biological entities such as tumors, viruses, or ...

A European project calls for help to verify whether carbon quantum dots are really able to sense chemicals in cells.

UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene into human airway cells, restoring key biological function in a laboratory ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The field of drug delivery has long been challenged by the need for precise, targeted methods to transport therapeutic agents within the body. Traditional approaches often ...

New nanoparticles eliminate melanoma tumors in mice using a low-power near-infrared laser, offering a precise, minimally ...

The urgent need to remove excess carbon dioxide from the Earth’s environment is motivating scientists to innovate new solutions. One idea is known as artificial ocean fertilization (AOF) which aims to ...

Scientists at the University of Warwick have cracked a long-standing problem in air pollution science: how to predict the movement of irregularly shaped nanoparticles as they drift through the air we ...

Scientists develop nanoparticles that detect and shrink arterial plaque by reducing inflammation and cholesterol, offering a new tool against heart disease. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at SAHMRI are ...

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...
