The tiny fatty capsules that deliver COVID-19 mRNA vaccines into billions of arms may work better when they're a little ...

A peer-reviewed study published in Science has documented frequent new particle formation during a heat wave, a phenomenon ...

Researchers at UChicago have developed a nanoparticle system that can effectively deliver mRNA to insulin-producing cells, protecting them from the body’s autoimmune response ...

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

Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the ...

Tiny aerosol particles in the air play a big role in regulating how much sunlight our planet absorbs or reflects, and how clouds form above us. In a recent study, researchers found that extreme heat ...

Nanoparticles coated with the molecular sensors could be used in at-home diagnostics. Researchers at MIT and Microsoft have used artificial intelligence to create molecular sensors that could detect ...

New research shows that lipid nanoparticles used in mRNA vaccines may deliver RNA more effectively when their structure is disorganised.

A small shift in temperature is enough to make a new class of nanoparticles snap together, offering a novel way to deliver fragile medicines. Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed and tested in a mouse model a new type of nanoparticle that enables the removal of melanoma tumors with a low-power laser. After the systemically ...

Antimicrobial nanoparticles are materials with exceptional antimicrobial properties, capable of controlling bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Thanks to their unique physicochemical attributes, ...
