With the increasing production and use of engineered nanoparticles it is crucial that their
interaction with biological systems is understood. Due to the small size of nanoparticles …

X-ray nanoprobes require coherent illumination to achieve optic-limited resolution, and so
will benefit directly from diffraction-limited storage rings. Here, the example of high …

The likelihood of intentional and unintentional engineered nanoparticle (ENP) exposure has
dramatically increased due to the use of nanoenabled products. Indeed, ENPs have been …

Nanoparticulate zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most widely used engineered nanomaterials
and its toxicology has gained considerable recent attention. A key aspect for controlling …

Particle–cell interactions in physiological media are important in determining the fate and
transport of nanoparticles and biological responses to them. In this work, these interactions …

Biometals such as zinc, iron, copper and calcium play key roles in diverse physiological
processes in the brain, but can be toxic in excess. A hallmark of neurodegeneration is a …

Nanostructured ZnO films have potential use as coatings on medical devices and food
packaging due to their antimicrobial and UV-protection properties. However, their influence …

Assessing in situ nanoparticles (NPs) internalization at the level of a single cell is a difficult
but critical task due to their potential use in nanomedicine. One of the main actual …

We report a novel approach to probe the interior of single bacterial cells at nanometre
resolution by combining focused ion beam (FIB) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). After …

You may have come across recent media reports that" nanoparticles in sunscreen are
harmless" on the basis of a recently published study. Sounds good huh? However …
