Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Five years later, we can tell the tale of using the tools of science, we were able to turn the tide on SARS-CoV-2 and, in the process, rewrite the playbook on pandemic preparedness. Through ...

Virus-built silver appears much more effective against bacteria than commercial silver. In A Nutshell Lab safety tests showed no harm to human kidney cells at concentrations 10 times higher than ...

The interaction of silver materials with light is well-known as the basis of film photography. But, there are much more ...

Scientists have developed copper oxide nanoparticles which can be coated onto implanted medical devices to reduce the risk of infection after operations. A team at Nottingham Trent University has led ...
