Nile University researchers developed innovative wound dressings using natural extracts like Aloe Vera to create silver ...

Phosphorus (P) is a critical nutrient for plant growth, but conventional fertilizers often suffer from inefficiencies and environmental drawbacks.

Nanoparticles – microscopic specks released by cars, factories, forest fires, and volcanoes – float through every ecosystem on Earth. Scientists are also designing these particles to precisely deliver ...

As climate change fuels the spread of plant diseases worldwide, a new nanoparticle smart spray could help crops defend themselves by blocking harmful bacteria from entering through tiny pores in ...

Just a year ago, when the Biden administration announced tough new limits on pollution from existing coal-fired power plants as well as some new gas-burning plants, the E.P.A. said the ...

Plant derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) are membrane structures isolated from different plants, which encapsulate many active substances such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, which ...

Kochi: A team of multi-institutional researchers discovered a novel method for synthesising silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the unique pitcher secretion of the Nepenthes ventrata, an ...

This new nanoparticle-based technique provides a faster alternative. The mRNA delivered into the plant does not permanently alter the plant’s DNA. Instead, it temporarily instructs the plant to ...

“My research harnesses the incredible potential of plant-derived nanoparticles alongside computational drug discovery to deliver more targeted, less invasive cancer treatments,” Olawale explained.

Nanoparticles possess distinct characteristics. These include a high surface area-to-volume ratio and increased reactivity, which bolsters plant defences against abiotic stress.

A new plant-based nanoparticle treatment for glioblastoma, the fastest growing and most aggressive form of brain cancer, has been developed by scientists in China and the US.
