A collaborative study led by Professor Vittoria Raffa at the University of Pisa and Assistant Professor Fabian Raudzus (Department of Clinical Application) has unveiled a novel approach that uses magnetically guided mechanical ...
Researchers have demonstrated that by using argon plasma, metal atoms can be dispersed and guided to desired positions. This new strategy ensures that not a single atom goes to waste and maximizes the use of rare and precious ...
When the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world in 2020, the mRNA vaccines came to the rescue of many people—but in the background there was another, lesser known, hero: the lipid nanoparticle. Without these tiny "fat ...
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully developed a nanomaterial capable of simultaneously performing cancer diagnosis, treatment, and immune response induction. Compared to conventional nanomaterials ...
Bacteria are ubiquitous microscopic organisms capable of rapid growth. While beneficial strains like lactic acid bacteria (LAB) promote gut health and food preservation, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus ...
Traditional medical tests often require clinical samples to be sent off-site for analysis in a time-intensive and expensive process. Point-of-care diagnostics are instead low-cost, easy-to-use, and rapid tests performed at ...
A new study details the development of a nanoparticle-based system that delivers concentrated chemotherapy specifically to cancer cells and not normal cells, potentially allowing clinicians to administer higher, more effective ...
Researchers have created a palladium-on-carbon catalyst for drug, pesticide, and plastic production that is very sparing in terms of precious metal use. In the new catalyst, palladium is carried on carbon particles manufactured ...
Mayonnaise, milk, butter, and various sauces are among the products most associated with the term emulsion. While this technique is widely used in the food industry, it also has a vital role beyond the kitchen. Emulsifying ...
