Nanoparticles, extremely tiny particles measured in billionths of a meter, are increasingly everywhere, and especially in biomedical products. Their toxicity has been researched in general terms, but ...

One scientist would like to put sand into your computer. Not beach sand, but silicon dioxide nanoparticles coated with a high dielectric constant polymer to inexpensively provide improved cooling for ...

Korean scientists utilized an anti-reflective coating based on silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles and large phosphor particles to increase diffuse light transmittance in a tandem perovskite-silicon ...

These microadditives enhance color, flavor and freshness. But what do they do in the body? It seemed like a small thing when Paul Westerhoff’s 8-year-old son appeared, with his tongue and lips coated ...

A nanoparticle’s safety is often determined by its toxicity on the human body. Toxicity can be defined in several ways, and it is not only the toxicity of the nanoparticle that is important but also ...

The most widely available materials of the Earth's crust include natural silica and silicates, which are primarily crystalline. Because of their excellent biocompatibility, heat resistance, low ...

Fluorescing nanoparticles are helpful tools for biological imaging, allowing researchers to spot hard-to-see phenomena through a microscope by lighting up when hit with laser light at the correct ...
