Could gold nanoparticles help treat cancer?
Jun 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Gold nanoparticles are minuscule particles made of gold. From drug and gene delivery to photothermal and photodynamic therapies to screening and diagnostic tests to radiation therapy, X-ray imaging and CT scans, these small particles engineered from the precious metal serve a variety of functions in...
Moving furniture in the micro-world
Jun 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Have you ever noticed when moving furniture that heavy objects are easier to move if you rotate them at the same time as you push? Many people intuitively do this right. An international research team from Konstanz (Germany), Trieste and Milan (Italy) has now investigated...
Researchers find ten billion-year old ‘ghost stars’ from swallowed galaxy
Jun 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Astronomers at Lund University in Sweden have found a group of stars in the Milky Way disk, that are most likely remnants from an unknown baby galaxy that was swallowed by the Milky Way over 10 billion years ago. Nothing like it has been discovered...
Hubble determines mass of isolated black hole roaming our Milky Way galaxy
Jun 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Astronomers estimate that 100 million black holes roam among the stars in our Milky Way galaxy, but they have never conclusively identified an isolated black hole. Following six years of meticulous observations, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has, for the first time ever, provided direct evidence...
Researchers develop ‘attacking’ droplets as a step towards biomimetic nanosystems (w/video)
Jun 10, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) One of the key goals of nanochemistry is to develop artificial systems that imitate biological processes, particularly aiming at replicating the basic behavior of life forms.

Can they make graphite from coal? Researchers start by finding new carbon solid
Jun 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) As the world's appetite for carbon-based materials like graphite increases, Ohio University researchers presented evidence this week for a new carbon solid they named "amorphous graphite." Physicist David Drabold and engineer Jason Trembly started with the question, "Can we make graphite from coal?" "Graphite is...
Hydrogen peroxide from tea and coffee residue: New pathway to sustainability
Jun 10, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important chemical, with a wide variety of applications. However, the current method used to manufacture H2O2 is expensive and generates a considerable amount of waste, making it an unsustainable approach. In this study, a group of researchers from Japan produced...
