Gold nanoparticles, which are about one-thousandth the width of a human hair, can convert light they receive from a laser ...

Contrast agents are often used in diagnostic technologies like MRIs. There are many different types of contrast agents, which can make tissues much easier to see against the background fluids of the ...

Gold has captivated humanity for thousands of years as a symbol of luxury and stability. However, when you shrink this ...

Manganese oxide nanoparticles (Mn 3 O 4 NPs) were synthesized and modified with an LHRH-targeting peptide or anti-melanoma antibodies (cancer-targeting moieties), as well as an MMP2 cleavable peptide ...

Researchers have developed a new nanoparticle that can 'hitch a ride' on immune cells, or monocytes. Because of its tiny size, the particle can tag along directly into lymph nodes and help metastasis ...

When inorganic nanoparticles come together, their optical, electronic, and magnetic properties depend strongly on how they ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method to enhance the precision of cancer treatment using gold nanoparticles tagged with DNA barcodes. A team of researchers from the National University of ...

University of New Mexico researchers studying the health risks posed by gadolinium, a toxic rare earth metal used in MRI scans, have found that oxalic acid, a molecule found in many foods, can ...

Researchers in Japan have found that gold nanoparticles at the air/water interface can dynamically ...
