Scientists have discovered a way to measure the effective density of engineered nanoparticles in physiological fluids, making it possible to determine the amount of nanomaterials that come into ...

Inserting genetic material into the body to treat diseases caused by gene mutations can work, scientists say - but getting those materials to the right place safely is tricky. Scientists now report ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Last month, when the European Commission offered its definition of "nanomaterial", it recommended to identify a nanomaterial only on the basis of its particle size: "The ...

Most research on the toxicology of nanomaterials has focused on the effects of nanoparticles that enter the body accidentally. There has been much less research on the toxicology of nanoparticles that ...
