Can all nanomaterials be considered nanoparticles? Not all nanomaterials are nanoparticles; nanomaterials can also include structures like nanotubes and nanofibers, which do not fall into the specific size range of nanoparticles. 13 How are nanoparticles used in medicine? In medicine, nanoparticles are ...
At this week's United Nations' global summit on plastic pollution in Ottawa, delegates are working toward a treaty to address plastics from production to use and disposal. Dr. Leonardo Trasande directs the NYU Langone Center for the Investigation ...

AK: The way I like to describe EVs to folks who may not be familiar with them is that they are like the ‘text messages’ of cells. They are small nanoparticles with lipid membranes that are naturally released by cells, and they are used to communicate with one ...
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 next section, we...
Silver may be used as an antiviral treatment for a variety of ailments, including herpes, pneumonia, warts, and shingles. It has also been demonstrated to aid AIDs patients to weaken HIV viral activity. The silver nanoparticles impede viral contact within the cell, lowering viral infectivity, acc...
In terms of matter, different methods are used, leading to exotic structures like nanomers (nano-sized oligomers with size-dependent optical properties) and nanoparticles with unique electronic and photonic properties. In plasmonics, for instance, metallic nanoparticles have an enhanced electromagnetic fie...

Nanotechnology and its Application in Medicine - What are Nanoparticles?Nidhi Uppangala
The insertion of nanochips in the body has raised questions about their safety. Nanoparticles are an increasing concern because of their potential health risks. Researchers have identified a mechanism through which nanoparticles can damage the lungs, and demonstrated a method for blocking this. However...
