Your Hairstyle Could Cause Air Pollution Comparable To Busy Traffic, Study Warns
A typical 10-20 minute hair styling routine using common hair care products and heated tools can release alarming levels of nanoparticle air pollution, comparable to standing by a busy highway, a new Purdue University study reveals.

Say Goodbye To Hangovers? New Gel Shows Promise In Reducing Blood Alcohol Levels
The gel intercepts alcohol in the digestive tract, breaking it down into less-toxic acetic acid, thus preventing the production of acetaldehyde, the primary cause of hangover symptoms.

Drug Infused With Gold Nanocrystals May Reverse Parkinson's, Study Suggests
The findings could eventually help bring this treatment to patients with these and other neurodegenerative diseases, according to the authors.

Researchers Develop Nanoparticles That Can Deliver Chemotherapy Drug to Brain, Help Kill Cancer Cells
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created a human tissue model to demonstrate the functioning of nanoparticles. Now, the team of researchers has developed nanoparticles that can carry the drug and enter tumours, killing the glioblastoma cells.
-
Nanoparticles May Promote Cancer Spread
The phenomenon, named 'nanomaterials induced endothelial leakiness' (NanoEL), accelerates the movement of cancer cells from the primary tumour and also causes circulating cancer cells to escape from blood circulation.

New Tumour-Shrinking Nanoparticle To Fight Cancer
Scientists have developed a new cancer-fighting nanoparticle aimed at shrinking breast cancer tumours, while also preventing recurrence of the disease.
-
Air Pollution Can Up Heart Attack, Stroke Risk
Tiny particles in polluted air can travel from the lungs into our bloodstream and increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke, a new study warns.
-
Nanoparticles May Help Prevent Tooth Decay
Scientists have found a way to use nanoparticles to effectively break down plaque and wipe out more than 99.9 per cent of cavity-causing bacteria within minutes, an advance that may help better prevent tooth decay.
-
World's Smallest Engine Developed, Made Of Tiny Charged Gold Particles
Scientists have developed the world's tiniest engine - just a few billionths of a metre in size - which is powered by light and may help develop nano-machines that can navigate in water, sense the environment around them, or even enter living cells to fight disease.
-
New Nanodrug Tracks Cancer Treatment Effectiveness In Real Time
Using a nanoparticle that delivers a drug and then glows green when cancer cells begin dying, Indian origin researchers have found a way to detect the effectiveness of cancer treatment much sooner than currently available clinical methods.
-
Nanoparticle That Mimics 'Good Cholesterol' Could Combat Heart Disease: Study
Researchers from University of Georgia, Athens have now developed a nanoparticle that functionally mimics nature's own high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
-
X-Rays And Nanoparticles Combo Can Kill Cancer: Study
Nanoparticles used in combination with X-rays are a viable method for killing cancer cells deep within the living body, a new study has found.
-
Scientists Invent 'Bubble-Pen' To Inscribe Nanoparticles
Scientists have developed a new 'bubble-pen' that uses microbubbles to inscribe nanoparticles on a surface, an invention that could help in the manufacturing of many devices like tiny machines, optical computers and solar panels.
-
New Method Removes Nanoparticles From Blood With Ease
A team of US engineers has developed a new technology that uses an electrical field to easily and quickly isolate drug-delivery nanoparticles from the blood.
