In a surprise discovery, Flinders University nanotechnology researchers have produced a range of different types of gold nanoparticles by adjusting water flow in the novel vortex fluidic device—without the need for toxic chemicals. The article, "Nanogold Foundry Involving High-Shear-Mediated Photocontact Electrification in Water," has been published in Small Science.
In a recent study published in the journal Small Science, researchers from TU Wien discovered a unique way to purify water from waste cellulose.
<p>Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have developed a novel method of adding polyethylene glycol molecules to engineered groups of messenger RNAs called “mRNA polyplexes”, which enable the cells that receive them to produce specific proteins. This technique allows greater control of the site in the body to which the polyplexes are delivered, significantly advancing the field of therapeutic mRNA technologies, with applications in vaccine development and the treatment of cancer and other diseases.</p>
Cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has rapidly become one of the most important experimental methods in structural biology and nanoscience. In this article, AZoNano discusses the working principle of single particle cryo-electron microscopy.
