For many years, antibiotic resistance has been urgently rising as a globally-significant public health concern. More recently, increasing knowledge on the conferral of enhanced antibiotic resistance ...

Chemists have discovered that tiny gold 'seed' particles, a key ingredient in one of the most common nanoparticle recipes, are one and the same as gold buckyballs, 32-atom spheres that are cousins of ...

A new therapy involving laser light and sugar-coated gold nanoparticles can rapidly destroy slimy bacterial accumulations called "biofilms" that cause tooth decay and infect wounds—all without needing ...

Nanomedicine. 2015;10(2):321-341. Delivery: "Go where we want." The contrast agent must be able to be delivered in vivo and transported to the site of interest. Nontoxic: "Do no harm along the way." ...

Nanoparticles exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties compared to bulk materials, making them valuable in applications such as electronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, and biomedical sciences.

A team of researchers has identified a promising new approach that may one day help to restore vision in people affected by macular degeneration and other retinal disorders. A new study by Brown ...

A new study by Brown University researchers suggests that gold nanoparticles - microscopic bits of gold thousands of times thinner than a human hair - might one day be used to help restore vision in ...

In the form of a 'nasal spray', tiny gold particles act as carriers, delivering a treatment directly to the brain: developed by scientists at the Università Cattolica Rome campus/Fondazione ...
