A team of researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University has developed a method to identify food poisoning-causing bacteria as different colours of light under the microscope, shortening the turnaround...
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has developed a robotic swarm of iron oxide nanoparticles that can remove plaque from teeth via brushing and flossing, as...
Researchers have found a safe way to generate a mist of nano-sized particles using plasma, which has the potential to be utilised in novel methods for transdermal drug delivery. In recent years, the...
These nanoparticles may be used to support crop growth in heavy metal-contaminated areas, boosting crop yield. Toxic metals like arsenic, cadmium, and lead have been gaining public attention as it...
This discovery has the potential to enhance the development of hyperthermia cancer treatment, where the magnetic nanoparticles are steered and heated up by magnetic fields to locally destroy cancer...
Prussian Blue has been found to be a promising candidate in the search to find an efficient method to extract precious metals like gold and platinum-group metals from e-waste, producing up to 10-80...
Scientists are developing ways to exploit the therapeutic potential of black pepper for medicine and the catalytic properties of ginger leaves for biodiesel production. Exploring potential...
The success of this study would see advances in the use of macromolecular drugs as an alternative therapy for tumours. Cancer treatments like chemo-, immuno-, and radiotherapy have proven to be...
For the first time, scientists successfully transplanted stem cell-based microrobots efficiently, non-invasively, and safely into mice brain tissues to treat neurological diseases. A joint research...
An extensive internal void enables a secure encapsulation, delivery, and storage of guest molecules as large as 4 nanometers. Among different man-made architectures and art, spherical structures and...
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has recently developed a fully automated, low cost and rapid microrobotic diagnostic system with comparable sensitivity and specificity to clinical...
A novel method for tumour ablation using implanted magnesium alloy rods has been developed. The rods induce tumour destruction via eddy current heating induced by an external alternating magnetic...
