(Nanowerk Spotlight) The next generation of robots may not look anything like the rigid, mechanical machines we’re used to. Instead, imagine a robot that moves more like an octopus or a human hand, ...

The study of emerging contaminants, including microplastics, metal nanoparticles, and organic pollutants, in soil-groundwater systems is gaining importance ...

A new method uses gold to assemble multi-element nanoparticles under mild conditions, offering improvements in catalytic activity and long-term stability. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The drive to engineer ...

MOSS LANDING — Scientists have reported concentrations of heavy-metal nanoparticles in the marsh soils at Elkhorn Slough in the wake of the recent fire at a battery storage facility in Moss Landing.

New research suggests that MRI with contrast may create nanoparticles that infiltrate your tissues. The research is preliminary, and more work needs to be done. Doctors stress that MRI with contrast ...

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