Gold particles of the size of billionths of a meter are lethal to cancer cells. This fact has been known for a long time, as has a simple correlation: The smaller the nanoparticles used to fight ...

Plastic waste pollutes oceans across all regions of the world. Marine animals may become entangled in larger plastic debris ...

Nanoparticles (NPs) are materials whose dimensions range from 1 to 1,000 nanometers (nm). Due to their nano-scale dimensions and tunable material properties, NPs have gained interest in the global ...

Nanoparticle technology has become a revolutionary breakthrough for cancer therapeutics, with nanoparticles and nanoscale devices being between 1 and 100 nm in size. Image Credit: ...

The small size of nanoparticles means that it is possible that they can penetrate into the body. This could bring medical benefits but it could also be a risk to human health.

Nanoparticles are materials that are confined to the nanoscale in all three dimensions. Engineered nanoparticles play an important role in nanotechnology. The specific properties of nanoparticles is ...

Nanoparticles, small particles ranging from one to 100 nanometers in size, can be made up of different substances depending on the application they are created for. For example, silver metal ...

The researchers believe that the nanoparticles’ small size would also allow them to leave the human body naturally without accumulating, although extensive studies have to be carried out to ...
