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

Nanoparticles that selectively scatter blue light can promote algae metabolism and growth greater than 30 percent.

Attaching an ingredient in scorpion venom to nanoparticles of iron oxide can help therapeutic genes to reach more brain cancer cells than existing approaches.

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 new imaging technique may make it possible to spot a single cancerous cell that has broken free from a tumor.

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.
