The biodegradable polymer Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely regarded as safe for use in medical applications, seeing common use in the creation of particles used in in vivo studies.

Emulsions that mix immiscible liquids are central to products from food to cosmetics. For instance, emulsions like mayonnaise mix liquids that don’t normally blend. They require added molecules called ...

Janus nanoparticles, characterised by their dual-faced surface chemistry, have garnered significant attention for their unique ability to mediate interfacial phenomena. Their asymmetry allows them to ...

An emulsion is a two-phase system formed by droplets dispersed in another non-miscible liquid. Many emulsions consist of a hydrophobic ‘oily’ phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase.

It can also rapidly predict the crystal structure of polytypic nanoparticles. In addition, it is expected that the new analysis method developed by the research team is the new analytical method that ...

RIKEN researchers have demonstrated a method that can detect tiny amounts of biomarkers in liquid samples and can distinguish ...

The same properties that make engineered nanoparticles attractive for numerous applications – they are as small as a virus, biologically and environmentally stable, and water-soluble – also cause ...

Nanoparticle films are no longer a delicate matter: Physicists have now found a way to make them strong enough so they don't disintegrate at the slightest touch. Nanoparticle films are no longer a ...

Synthetic nanoparticles are artificially manufactured particles that have dimensions in the nanoscale range (typically 1 to 100 nanometers). These particles can be made of a wide variety of materials ...
