China's New Tech Turns Seawater Into Drinking Water, No Power Needed
Chinese researchers have created a solar-powered desalination material that uses nanoparticle technology to convert seawater into fresh water at a cost lower than bottled water, running entirely on sunlight with no external power needed.

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.

Universal Vaccines Could Reshape How We Fight Future Outbreaks
Every year, the race begins anew. Scientists scramble to track mutating viruses, pharmaceutical companies reformulate vaccines and public health systems brace for another season of jabs and logistics.

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.

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.
