Researchers have developed a simple process for producing nanocrystals that will help understand and predict how nanoparticles interact with the world around them.

Copied from nature, a nanoscale coating for surgical equipment, hospital walls, and other surfaces can safely eradicate the Staphylococcus bacteria responsible for antibiotic resistant infections.

US researchers have developed a way to predict how nanoparticles will interact with biological systems — including the human body.

Researchers have found that carbon nanotubes injected into male mice cause damage to the testes, but the harm is reversible and does not affect fertility.

A novel approach to arsenic removal could lead to a quick and inexpensive purification of drinking water in developing countries.

Researchers have found that less toxic, naturally occurring nanoparticles have unique optical properties and may one day replace metal-based nanoparticles used for biomedical applications.

Zero-valent iron microparticles can destroy in soil toxins used in pesticides, degreasers and dry cleaning.

Scientists have discovered a way to predict the organization and properties of nanoparticles.

The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) is warning that nanomaterials may be entering the market without adequate risk assessment by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Nanoparticles from English ivy were found block UV light more efficiently, were less toxic and were easily biodegradable compared a nanoparticle used in many of today’s sunscreens.
