Gold nanoparticles are becoming the … well … gold standard for medical-use nanoparticles. A new paper by researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Cancer Institute's Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory (NCL) proposes not only a sort of gold nanoparticle "testbed" to explore how the tiny particles behave in biological systems, but also a paradigm for how to characterize nanoparticle formulations to determine just what you're working with.
A team of researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), George Mason University and the University of Maryland has made nano-sized sensors that detect volatile organic compounds - harmful pollutants released from paints, cleaners, pesticides and other products
A research team from MIT, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and the University of California, San Diego, developed a new kind of drug delivery system wherein a first nanoparticle wave targets the tumor and then calls for a much bigger second wave to infuse the cancer drugs.
