This review examined 27 recent studies on essential-oil nanoemulsions incorporated into biopolymer coatings and films for active food packaging, focusing on barrier properties, antimicrobial activity, sensory effects, and controlled release. The evidence shows that performance depends strongly on nanoemulsion concentration, polymer composition, and formulation design, while scale-up, safety, regulation, and consumer acceptance remain important practical challenges.
A narrative review of two decades of nanotoxicology research shows how particle size, surface chemistry, protein corona formation, exposure conditions, and environmental transformations can shape the biological and ecological effects of nanomaterials. The authors highlight the growing role of AI and machine learning in predictive nanosafety while stressing that standardized testing, high-quality datasets, realistic exposure models, and harmonized regulation remain essential.
Aluminum-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles efficiently degrade methylene blue dye in sunlight, offering a sustainable solution for wastewater treatment challenges.
Researchers present nano-org, an open-access database for standardized SMLM data, which enhances the analysis of protein organization at the nanoscale with automated quality control.
In a recent article published in Biomolecules, researchers explored advancements in green nanoparticle technology, focusing on its antimicrobial efficacy against clinical pathogens. By leveraging plant-based synthesis methods, this eco-friendly approach offers a promising alternative to traditional antimicrobial treatments.
