Determining the nanotoxicity of engineered nanomaterials is critical as the expansion of nanotechnology continues. In this interview, we discuss the development of the first protocol for research ...

The discovery provides new insights into the behavior of engineered nanomaterials and how they can be better designed for numerous commercial applications without impacting the environment or human ...

Engineered nanomaterials are deliberately structured particles with dimensions typically below 100 nanometres, valued for their unique electrical, optical and catalytic properties. Their rapid uptake ...

The National Research Council will develop and will monitor the implementation of an integrated research strategy to address the environmental, health, and safety aspects of engineered nanomaterials.

Engineered nanomaterials are central to innovations in medicine, electronics, cosmetics and environmental remediation, yet their unique size-dependent properties pose novel challenges for human health ...

Engineered Carbon-Based Nanomaterials Can Interfere With the Aggregation of Misfolded Proteins Linked to Neurodegenerative ...

In a recent study published in the MDPI journal Nanomaterials, a research group from the United States (US) has shown the possibility of inactivating surrogates of the severe acute respiratory ...

Across the immunity cycle, NPs can co-deliver tumor antigens and adjuvants to DCs, enhance major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I)-mediated cross-presentation, and promote cytotoxic T ...

What just happened? Researchers at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering have harnessed the power of machine learning to create nanomaterials that combine carbon steel's ...

Cancer immunotherapy works by mobilizing the body's own immune system to recognize and destroy malignant cells.

This starts at the chemical level: scientists can design a material’s structure to define how it reacts, binds, or transforms under specific conditions. Surface functionalization adds further ...
