New Method for Creating Mesoporous Polymer Nanofibre Networks

NIMS researchers in the Polymer Materials Unit, Advanced Key Technologies Division, developed a high-performance oil absorbent with the function to purify oil-contaminated water (e.g. water discharged upon oil production) at a low cost. This new oil absorbent will provide an energy-efficient and low-cost water purification system at the site of resource development.

Nanosponge Vaccine More Effective Than Heat-Treated Staph Toxin Vaccines Against MRSA

Nanosponges that soak up a dangerous pore-forming toxin produced by MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) could serve as a safe and effective vaccine against this toxin. This "nanosponge vaccine" enabled the immune systems of mice to block the adverse effects of the alpha-haemolysin toxin from MRSA—both within the bloodstream and on the skin. Nanoengineers from the University of California, San Diego described the safety and efficacy of this nanosponge vaccine in the December 1 issue of Nature Nanotechnology.
