Researchers Study Atomic Level Reaction of Metallic Nanoparticles with the Environment

Crucially, the research led by the University of York and reported in Nature Materials, shows that oxidation of metals - the process that describes, for example, how iron reacts with oxygen, in the presence of water, to form rust - proceeds much more rapidly in nanoparticles than at the macroscopic scale. This is due to the large amount of strain introduced in the nanoparticles due to their size which is over a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair.

BIONOVA’s NANO-COMPLEXES Help the Skin Stay Healthy During Winter

People who live in a seasonal climate know that wintertime is the most challenging for the skin. There are two reasons for that: (a) outdoor cold temperature, and (b) indoor heating conditions. If cold causes the skin vessels spasms to reduce the blood circulation in the upper part of the epidermis, the heat does the exact opposite.
