Magnetic nanoparticles are a class of nanomaterials that exhibit magnetic properties at the nanoscale. These particles, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size, are composed of magnetic ...

Drugs and other treatments can be quite effective at killing cancer cells, yet many fall short as they struggle to penetrate deep into solid tumors due to physical barriers within the tissue. But in a ...

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are sub-100 nm structures composed of magnetic cores, often iron oxides or ferrites, which exhibit unique magnetic behaviours distinct from their bulk counterparts. Their ...

A research team from Tohoku University and Kyocera Corp. has developed a new magneto-optical material—a nanocomposite magnetic garnet film—that can be deposited directly onto silicon substrates while ...

KAUST researchers developed nanoparticles that remove microplastics and their associated organic pollutants from water. Using a machine learning model they also created, they can predict the ...

The rapid expansion of soft robots and smart electronic devices is driving demand for materials that can not only move and adapt, but also complete their missions without leaving behind unwanted ...

In nature, the ten-micron small, single-cell microalgae are fantastic swimmers, propelled by their two whip-like flagella at the front. However, it wasn’t clear what would happen if scientists covered ...

New magnetic nanoparticles in the shape of a cube sandwiched between two pyramids represent a breakthrough for treating ovarian tumors and possibly other types of cancer, according to the Oregon State ...

Traditionally, radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery have been the most common ways to remove and destroy malignant cells. However, because these treatments can also damage healthy cells, they often ...
