Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a method to more precisely heat up gold nanoparticles to target and destroy cancerous tumors. Using imaging methods that combine light and sound ...

Luminescent gold nanoparticles (L-AuNPs) represent a novel class of luminescent nanomaterials that have attracted considerable attention in recent years. They possess a range of exceptional ...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) absorbing light in the near-infrared (NIR) range offer unparalleled benefits for both optoacoustic (OA) imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT), stemming from their ability ...

According to a study published in Advanced Functional Materials on November 24 th, 2024, a group of researchers led by Assistant Professor Andy Tay from the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the ...

This study investigates the anticancer effects of green‑synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Spirulina platensis extract on Caco‑2 human colon adenocarcinoma cells. The biosynthesized AgNPs ...

When gold nanoparticles are bathed in laser light, they quietly convert that light into heat, a phenomenon that underpins ...

Researchers developed a manufacturing technique that rapidly generates large quantities of nanoparticles coated with drug-delivering polymers, which hold great potential for treating cancer. The ...

Pancreatic cancer that spreads to the liver is especially difficult to treat because the liver naturally suppresses immune responses, creating an environment where cancer can evade detection and ...

Instead of capturing a memory with an iPhone camera, Carnegie Mellon University's Nivedita Shyamsundar used hers to make a ...
