Nanoparticles are particles that exist on a nanometre scale (i.e., below 100 nm in at least one dimension). They can possess physical properties such as uniformity, conductance or special optical ...

A new framework bridges a gap in understanding RNA therapeutics by linking the structure of lipid nanoparticles to immune response. It can help scientists and engineers expand the use of RNA ...

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed a novel nanoparticle-based therapy for obesity treatment, as reported in a recent study published in ACS Nano.

A zinc oxide nanoparticle has a diameter of 32 nm. The diameter of a zinc atom is 0.28 nm. Estimate how many times larger the nanoparticle is compared to a zinc atom. A cube-shaped nanoparticle ...

To address this issue, scientists have developed, and now widely use, the strategy of encapsulating mRNA into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Because LNPs protect mRNA, facilitate delivery to target ...

Suggest a possible hazard to the environment of silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles could harm or kill useful bacteria in the environment when these dressings are thrown away after use.
