The more we learn about bio-nano science, the easier it will be to design nanoparticles that behave like we want them to.

A widely publicised study that cast doubt on the safety of milk formula was misleading, based on dubiously reported studies and may have serious consequences.
Coating paper with an inexpensive thin film can allow users to print and erase a physical page as many as 80 times. That reduces both the cost and the environmental effects of paper use.
The advent of electron microscopy and nanobiology has moved our appreciation of the living world to unprecedentedly small scales – with entirely new benefits and potential pitfalls to consider.
From the kitchen sink to the laundry and garage – nanotechnology has already made its way into the average household.
Tastier salt, packaging that alerts you to food that has gone off and fish oil that tastes better – nanoparticles have lots of potential.
Two new studies from Food Standards Australia and New Zealand show there’s no evidence that nanoparticles in food present a health risk, but there’s more research to be done.
Microscopic needle-like particles don’t seem like something you’d want to feed a baby. Whether safe or not, the way we deal with nanoscale food additives leaves plenty of other questions.
A single-atom engine is the latest example of how nano-technology can create machines to power tiny robots inside the body.
Touch screens are everywhere these days but the materials commonly used to make them are not that abundant. So what are the alternatives?
A new method for creating a form of graphene with carbon dioxide sucked from the air has been announced with misleading claims.
We need to carefully assess nanomaterials to ensure their safety, but there are questions over whether the existing practice of risk assessment is up to the task.
Tiny nanoparticles emitted during building work can enter your lungs and bloodstream.
New research could into nanoparticles could help deliver drugs straight to the site of tumours and make them more effective when they get there.
Earlier this week, The Conversation reported that, “The future is bright, the future is … quantum dot televisions.” And judging by the buzz coming from this week’s annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES…
Recently the American publication Mother Jones published an article on the dangers of food laced with tiny metal oxide particles. The article, however, is laced with errors and misinformation. The source…
A world-first computer model that simulates cancer growth has been developed by an Australian PhD student. The device has…
Nanoparticles — or nanomaterials, as they are often called — are chemical objects with dimensions in the range of 1-100 nanometres (nm). Particles this tiny are hard to imagine, but it may help to think…
A new nanoparticle that can be taken orally has been developed, making injections of particles no longer necessary. Nanoparticles…
Major advances in technology are being spawned by the synthesis and application of nanoparticles and nanocomposites. The nanotechnology revolution offers great promise for major advances in medicine, manufacturing…
