What if you were holding life-saving medicine ... but had no way to administer it? Zoom down to the nano level with engineer Kathryn A. Whitehead as she gives a breakdown of the little fatty balls (called lipid nanoparticles) perfectly...

Mark Shaw demos Ultra-Ever Dry, a liquid-repellent coating that acts as an astonishingly powerful shield against water and water-based materials. At the nano level, the spray covers a surface with an umbrella of air so that water bounces...

Cancer is a very clever, adaptable disease. To defeat it, says medical researcher and educator Paula Hammond, we need a new and powerful mode of attack. With her colleagues at MIT, Hammond engineered a nanoparticle one-hundredth the size...

In the 20th century, most vaccines took over a decade to research, test, and produce. But the vaccines for COVID-19 were cleared for emergency use in less than 11 months. The secret behind this speed is a medical technology that's been...

This video explains what nanoparticles are and how their small size affects their physical and chemical properties, particularly in relation to their surface area-to-volume ratio. The video highlights potential applications of...

To treat oral cancer, National Science Foundation-funded small business Privo Technologies has created a platform that delivers treatments directly to the affected area. Privo develops new classes of targeted treatments, such as...

We polled top nano experts for their nanotechnology enabled superpower of choice! In this edition, we hear from Nicole Steinmetz, from Case Western Reserve University; Karen Wooley, from Texas A&M University and Director of TAMU...

To treat oral cancer, NSF-funded small business Privo Technologies has created a platform that delivers treatments directly to the affected area. Privo develops new classes of targeted treatments, such as chemotherapy drugs, designed...

A research team at MIT developed a novel nanoparticle that detects blood clots before they cause stroke or other adverse cardiac events. This non-invasive clot detection assay presents an fast and affordable method to screen for blood...

Our first instinct with infection in the body is often to find it and get rid of it! But, engineer Liangfang Zhang had another idea. With support from the National Science Foundation, Zhang and his team at UC-San Diego have created a...
