Engineers are trying to use nano-size wires to create smaller, more powerful microprocessors. Doctors are searching for ways to use nanoparticles in medical applications. Still, we've got a long way to go before nanotechnology dominates the technology and medical markets. In the world of "Star ...
Hazard and risk assessment of nanomaterials (NMs) face challenges due to, among others, the numerous existing nanoforms, discordant data and conflicting results found in the literature, and specific challenges in the application of strategies such as grouping and read-across, emphasizing the need for...
"We are thinking about ways to make these products safer and identify what types of red flags we should avoid in developing mRNA technology and the use of lipid nanoparticles that deliver the mRNA," Amiji says. Scientists say what makes mRNA exciting is the way it instructs cells in the b...
Under REACH, the responsibility falls on the registrant to assess the hazards of the substance in the registration dossier. In other instances, regulations give the role of substance evaluation to European authorities and make use of positive lists of authorized substances (e.g. food, food contact...
For many years, Halik’s research team has been investigating environmentally friendly ways to remove pollutants from water. The base materials they use are iron oxide nanoparticles in a superparamagnetic form, which means they are drawn to magnets, but not to each other, so the particles don’...
Chemistry of transition metals in catalysis Lanthanide chemistry and its role in modern technology Inorganic polymers: synthesis, properties, and applications Design and function of coordination complexes in medicine Inorganic nanoparticles and their applications in cancer therapy Role of metal ions in bioche...
Not even the miniature world of nanoparticles is being left out, and researchers are even exploring the potential for organically produced solar panels. But if photovoltaics are such a wonderful source of free energy, then why doesn't the whole world run on solar energy? Solar Energy Costs ...
since soaking shoes in a potent antimicrobial solution is more effective. Also, dryer sheets may contain all kinds ofhazardous target chemicalssuch as chloroform, pentane, and ethyl acetate. Fragrances areincreasingly knownto trigger asthma and to stimulate growth of breast cancer cells in lab ...
And if any part of your body is unhealthy, you can grow a new one in a lab. As you get dressed you say to your shirt, "Turn red." It becomes red. In 2045, "smart" clothes contain nanoparticles that carry electricity. So you can program clothes to change colors or designs. On ...
In the medical field, the application of nanotechnology is known as nanomedicine, which includes the use of nanomaterials for diagnosis, treatment, control and prevention of diseases [31, 32]. Over the decades, nanoparticles have been extensively used and studied due to their unique properties, ...
