For many industrial applications one needs synthesis gas, also known as "syngas," a mixture of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). In addition to the established production method via steam ...

New study shows that hair styling routines can release billions of harmful nanoparticles, posing serious health risks in ...

The researchers found that a 5% sucrose solution inside the nanoparticles made them relatively stable in the body, yet responsive to ultrasound stimulation. That means that even when the nanoparticles ...

They are extremely small, typically at the nanoscale – one-billionth of a meter – in diameter. Because these nanoparticles are made of iron, they’re both magnetic and stable. Their tiny size gives ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), made of fatty molecules, enabled the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, for instance. But LNPs rely on alcohol-based solvents and sensitive manufacturing steps—making them poorly ...

Using artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have come up with a new way to design nanoparticles that can more efficiently ...

With the ability to be finely engineered to tackle the disease in different ways, nanoparticles hold huge potential when it comes to cancer treatment. Researchers at the Tokyo University of ...

So we designed nanoparticles made of a common protein called albumin that could deliver cancer drugs directly to where these immune-suppressing cells are located.

Johns Hopkins researchers have identified minuscule particles that supercharge therapeutic cancer vaccines, which train the immune system to attack tumors. These new lipid nanoparticles—tiny ...
