Injecting Gold Nanoparticles in Mammary Tissue Enhances Imaging of Early Signs of Breast Cancer

Detecting breast cancer in women with dense mammary tissues could become more reliable with a new mammogram procedure that researchers have now tested in pre-clinical studies of mice. In their report in the journal ACS Nano, they describe injecting gold nanoparticles in mammary tissue to enhance the imaging of early signs of breast cancer.

Interplay Between Platinum Nanoparticles and Iron-Oxide Surface Increases Reaction Efficiency

Platinum is a great catalyst and can be used for many different applications. It's expensive stuff though, so tiny platinum nanoparticles sitting on cheap metal oxide materials are used to convert harmful carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. Using scanning tunnelling microscopes, scientists at TU Vienna have now been able to image the catalytic behaviour of platinum sitting on iron-oxide, which allowed them to explain the process on an atomic scale.

Ioniqa Receives Funding to Upscale Full Recycling of Colored PET using 'Smart' Magnetic Fluids

The Eindhoven-based chemical company Ioniqa Technologies has acquired 2.5 million euros' worth of funding from Chemelot Ventures and existing investors, Ioniqa and Chemelot Venturues announced last week. Ioniqa, an Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) spin-off, will be upscaling its invention that enables the full and affordable recycling of colored PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Colorless PET was already fully recyclable but most of the world's PET production of 50 million tons is colored and a significant portion is consigned to the incinerator after use. Now a change is at hand.
