We are constantly immersed in magnetic fields. The Earth produces a field that envelops us. Toasters, microwaves, and all of our other appliances produce their own faint ones. All of these fields are ...

With atomic stenciling, researchers have made a variety of patterned patchy nanoparticles with new shapes and properties. Illustration by Maayan Harel. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Inspired by an artist’s ...

(Nanowerk News) The Innovation Center of NanoMedicine (iCONM) has announced with The University of Tokyo that a group led by Prof. Takanori Ichiki, Research Director of iCONM, proposed a new property ...

Blobs of water encased in nanoparticles can be carved into precise shapes with a laser, and even turned into a kind of miniature lab device. When water is added to a gel of hydrophobic silicon dioxide ...

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more efficient ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Self-propelled nanoparticles could potentially advance drug delivery and lab-on-a-chip systems — but they are prone to go rogue with random, directionless movements. Now, an ...
