Better research into environmental and bioanalytical issues in the future
08-Dec-2022
Researchers at Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) developed a new glass fiber design that enables exceptionally long observations of a large number of individual, freely moving nanoparticles in a liquid. This allows the size distribution of nano-objects in a sample to be ...
“Nanoplastics are a major concern if they’re in the air that you breathe, getting into your lungs and potentially causing health problems”
29-Aug-2022
Large pieces of plastic can break down into nanosized particles that often find their way into the soil and water. Perhaps less well known is that they can also float in the air. It’s unclear how nanoplastics impact human health, but animal studies suggest they’re potentially harmful. As a step ...
Ingredient lists often aren’t accurate
29-Aug-2022
From life-like faces to elaborate nature scenes, tattoos are a true art form. Although people have decorated their bodies for millennia for ceremonial and religious reasons, many people today adorn themselves with these images as a form of self-expression. But the inks used for tattoos are ...
15-Jul-2022
As a pioneer in the industry, we have poured 35 years of experience in particle sizing technology into the new FRITSCH Technology Centre for Particle Sizing, combining it with the latest high-end technology. Covering an area of 240 m2 on three floors, the new building at the FRITSCH headquarters ...
A large step forward in the characterization of nanoparticles: One possible application of this technique may be to identify illnesses
11-May-2022
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) and Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (MPZPM) in Erlangen present a large step forward in the characterization of nanoparticles. They used a special microscopy method based on interfereometry to outperform existing ...
Simple mechanical tube key to measuring mass and size of nano-particles simultaneously
31-Aug-2021
The functionality of nanoparticles in a host of applications, including drug delivery and nano-optics, is often dictated by their mass and size. Measuring these properties simultaneously for the same nanoparticle has also been challenging. Now scientists from the University of Melbourne and ...
Using a robotic arm
16-Dec-2020
Analyzing nanoparticles individually is a challenge precisely because they are so small. A new technique using electron microscopy and a robotic arm could make the process much easier. Precious metal-free nanoparticles could serve as powerful catalysts in the future, for example for hydrogen ...
Scientists develop a label-free method for identifying respiratory viruses which may lead to new rapid COVID-19 tests
19-Nov-2020
The ongoing global pandemic has created an urgent need for rapid tests that can diagnose the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the pathogen that causes COVID-19, and distinguish it from other respiratory viruses. Now, researchers from Japan have demonstrated a new system for single-virion ...
Compact and energy-efficient sensor for mobile devices, informs in real time about the fine dust content in the air and warns in case of elevated values
25-Sep-2020
It is slightly smaller than two one-cent coins stacked on top of each other, is particularly energy-efficient due to its size, requires no maintenance and can be integrated in mobile devices. It is the smallest particle sensor in the world. With this 12 x 9 x 3 millimetre innovation, smartphones, ...
SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticle probes are used to study fundamental interactions between SARS-CoV-2 Spike proteins and human cells
22-Sep-2020
Scientists and researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), submitted their findings to ACS Nano on their collaboration to develop SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticle probes that are used to study fundamental interactions between ...
