New research shows that nanoparticles, in the presence of sunlight, may pass through skin.

Researchers in the Institute of Applied Microbiology at Giessen University, Germany, have developed a microplate-based assay for online testing of the effects of metal nanoparticles using an Infinite® M200 microplate reader from Tecan.

Particular GmbH from Hannover, Germany, has started a cooperation with Strem Chemicals, Inc., from Massachusetts, USA.

Maxwell’s mixing rules refute the notion that nanofluids comprising nanoparticles in common solvents enhance heat transfer by increasing thermal conductivity

Immunogenicity of therapeutic drugs by protein aggregates that form by intermolecular disulfide bonds and which are promptly rejected by the immune system is caused by UV radiation created inside the aggregates by quantum mechanics

A young scientist from PolyU's Food Safety and Technology Research Centre has successfully prepared highly stable selenium nanoparticles by using the polysaccharide-protein complex extracted from the African Tiger Milk mushroom.

An innovative Syringe-based Nanoparticle System allowing users to generate polymeric, metal and semi-conductor nanoparticles from 1nm to 100nm in diameter.

The RDT undertakes the comparative study of tensile mechanical properties of plastic materials processed on an industrial and laboratory scale

Researchers on North Carolina State University's Centennial Campus have investigated the viability of a technique called “spincasting” for creating thin films of nanoparticles on an underlying substrate.

Particular, a German nano-tech company, crushes material down to the nano-scale using a laser ablation process. The company has published a universal nanoparticle catalogue in which they offer any solid matter in the form of dispersed nanoparticles.

Izon Science unveil latest breakthrough in nanoparticle analysis at 2010 BIO International Convention in Chicago

Charge produced at the instant nanoparticles form upon rubbing of ash particle surfaces may solve the long-standing mystery of how lightning is electrified.

Izon Science today launched the Variable Pressure Module (VPM) for its qNano and qViro instrument range at Hannover Messe. The extended capabilities now provide Izon with the world's most comprehensive nanoparticle analysis system.

Professor Michael Depledge of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution has joined the Scientific Advisory Board of nanoTox. nanoTox is the first company to provide complete risk analysis and profiling exclusively for nanoparticles .

The emission of electromagnetic (EM) radiation by nanoparticles (NPs) resolves the paradox of enhanced critical heat flux (CHF) without increasing the boiling heat transfer (BHT) coefficient

NANO Magazine sheds light on a 'dark corner' of nanotechnology. Read about the military applications of nano, the nano enhanced army, Gulf War Syndrome and nanopathology, and the ethical concerns around the huge investments made into defence.

Experiments showing DNA damage and increased cancer risk are supported by theoretical arguments that fine nanoparticles emit UV radiation and should be banned from commercial products.

Hard to find graphene nanoplatelets are now available from the Nano Science Resources EBAY store. They have 25 micron diameters and widths of 5-10 nanometers. They are available to scientists and the public.

Users of nanoparticles in cosmetics products claim they “increase penetration of active ingredients”… But what exactly does this mean? What are nanoparticles and what is the long-term effect on our skin, health and life?
