Silver nanoparticles cause more damage to testicular cells than titanium dioxide nanoparticles, according to a recent study. However, the use of both types may affect testicular cells with ...

Fabrics containing engineered nanosilver – used to kill odor causing bacteria in socks and sports clothing – leak fewer silver nanoparticles into the environment when washed than textiles with ...

Many socks, towels and other textiles are treated with silver nanoparticles to kill germs and odors. When the silver washes out, it can pollute waterways. Two chemists propose a way to collect it ...

The researchers found that the silver nanoparticles prevented the activation of the inflammasome – a protein complex in cells responsible for the excessive immune response (cytokine storm) in severe ...

Study explores nanoparticle-enhanced curcumin formulations, promising to significantly boost its health benefits including anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects by improving ...

A silver nanoparticle is a small cluster of silver atoms less than 100 nanometers, or 100 billionths of a meter, wide. Because of their size, ...

The size of the silver particles in colloidal silver varies, but some are so tiny that they’re referred to as nanoparticles. This means that they’re less than 100 nanometers in size and ...
