Nanoparticles are threatening the stability of plant cells

2025-06-21 - 2025-06

Nanoparticles – microscopic specks released by cars, factories, forest fires, and volcanoes – float through every ecosystem on Earth.

Scientists are also designing these particles to precisely deliver fertilizers to crop roots, target pests with pesticides, or serve as tiny sensors that detect plant stress.But new research, led by the University of California, Riverside, shows that once those particles enter a plant cell, they can change in unexpected ways and interfere with the plant’s ability to photosynthesize.

The researchers uncovered a chain reaction: inside the cell, nanoparticles pick up a greasy coating and then cling to RuBisCO, the enzyme that jump-starts photosynthesis. The result is a dramatic slowdown in the plant’s carbon-dioxide intake.

The discovery does not condemn the promise of agricultural nanotechnology, but it does force scientists to rethink how particles are designed.

Manganese-coordinated lipid nanoparticles boost VZV vaccine-induced T cell responses

2025-06-10 - 2025-06

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Because varicella zoster virus (VZV) infections are continually increasing, vaccine efficacy must be enhanced. To date, the inefficient in vivo utilization of antigens and adjuvants has limited vaccine-induced immune protection against VZV infection. Therefore, improving the antigen and adjuvant utilization efficiency is crucial to enhance VZV vaccine performance.

To achieve favorable VZV antigen and adjuvant utilization efficiency, a co-delivery system was constructed based on manganese-coordinated lipid nanoparticles (Mn-LNPs). Palmitic acid was coordinated with manganese through hydrothermal synthesis. Furthermore, 1.6 molar palmitic acid-Mn was added to four commercial lipid nanoparticle components (SM-102:DSPC:CHO-HP:DSG-PEG2000 in a 50:10:37.5:2.5 molar ratio) to encapsulate VZV glycoprotein E (gE) antigen and CpG adjuvant by using a microfluidic chip. Mn-LNP size and morphology were characterised through transmission electron microscopy and quantified the manganese on palmitic acid-Mn through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The performance of the Mn-LNP co-delivery system in enhancing VZV vaccine-induced immune responses was evaluated in a mouse model.

Who coined the term

2025-05-13 - 2025-05

The term "nanotechnology" was coined by Professor Norio Taniguchi in 1974 at the Tokyo Science University. He introduced it in a scientific paper presented at the International Conference on Production Engineering, defining it as "the processing of separation, consolidation, and deformation of materials by one atom or one molecule."

His work primarily focused on ultra-precision machining, particularly in semiconductor fabrication, where control at the atomic level was starting to become feasible.

At the time, Taniguchi's "nanotechnology" was a practical, engineering-oriented concept far from the futuristic visions that would follow. It wasn't until the 1980s that the term began to take on broader meaning. K. Eric Drexler, an MIT-trained engineer, dramatically expanded the concept in his 1986 book Engines of Creation.

Designing Potent Nanomedicines with Atomic Precision

2025-04-29 - 2025-04

Historically, pharmaceutical drugs are carefully designed at the atomic level to ensure effectiveness and safety, as seen with ibuprofen. Now, researchers at Northwestern University and Mass General Brigham suggest applying this same precision to nanomedicines, which currently lack uniform structure. By tailoring nanomedicines more precisely, scientists aim to create more consistent and potent treatments for major diseases. The study was published in the journal Nature Reviews Bioengineering.

No two particles are alike in today's nanomedicines, such as mRNA vaccines. To guarantee that all of the nanomedicines in the same batch are identical, and the strongest versions researchers are coming up with new ways to precisely customize their structures.

With this degree of control, scientists can precisely regulate how nanomedicines interact with the human body. Strong vaccines or even treatments for cancer, infectious diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune disorders are being developed as a result of these novel designs.

Nanoparticle shield makes luminescent molecules more durable for high-tech applications

2025-04-28 - 2025-04

They are tiny but glow intensively: special light-emitting molecules used in environmental analysis, medical diagnostics, and energy research. However, their luminescence intensity can be significantly reduced by oxygen in the air. Researchers at the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) have now developed a "nano-protective shield": embedded in nanoscale silica particles, molecules with initially oxygen-sensitive emission remain significantly more stable and luminescent – a major advancement for future-oriented technologies.

Many modern technologies use light-emitting molecules, so called luminophores. They are utilized, for example, as contrast agents for medical imaging or in solar cells. Particularly promising are compounds such as chromium(III) complexes, also known as "molecular rubies", developed by Prof. Katja Heinze from Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. "These molecules can emit light for more than a millisecond. This is ideal for many high-tech applications," explains Ute Resch-Genger from BAM, who leads the DFG project NILE-CHROME 2.0 with Katja Heinze. "But at the same time, they are very sensitive to oxygen and can lose their luminescence."
An interdisciplinary research team has now found a simple solution to protect the sensitive molecules from oxygen. Building on the silica expertise of BAM researcher Isabella Tavernaro, the scientists embedded the luminophores in tiny silica nanoparticles. Nanoparticles made of silicon dioxide (SiO), the main component of quartz glass, are chemically stable and biologically compatible. By encapsulating the molecules, these specially prepared silica nanoparticles form a shield against external influences, preserving their luminescence.

Nanoparticle treatment combined with radiation therapy significantly improves glioblastoma survival in mice

2025-04-24 - 2025-04

Glioblastoma multiforme is an aggressive brain tumor that mainly affects adults. Approximately 30,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with GBM every year and patients have a 5-year survival rate of 7%. Current treatments include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide. Unfortunately, none of these methods can cure GBM
Treatment options for GBM have their limitations," said Maria Castro, professor of neurosurgery and a member of the Rogel Cancer Center.

"Although surgery can help improve survival, surgeons often have to remove the normal tissue that surrounds the tumor to prevent it from spreading. On the other hand, using drugs to target the cancer is also challenging because GBM cells are heterogeneous. If you try and target a particular pathway, the cancer cells can use other pathways and repopulate the tumor."

Additionally, anti-cancer drugs cannot easily cross the blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from substances in the blood, according to Anna Schwendeman, professor of pharmaceutical sciences.

Golden eyes: How gold nanoparticles may one day help to restore people's vision

2025-04-17 - 2025-04

A new study by Brown University researchers suggests that gold nanoparticles—microscopic bits of gold thousands of times thinner than a human hair—might one day be used to help restore vision in people with macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.

In a study published in the journal ACS Nano, the research team showed that nanoparticles injected into the retina can successfully stimulate the visual system and restore vision in mice with retinal disorders. The findings suggest that a new type of visual prosthesis system in which nanoparticles, used in combination with a small laser device worn in a pair of glasses or goggles, might one day help people with retinal disorders to see again.

"This is a new type of retinal prosthesis that has the potential to restore vision lost to retinal degeneration without requiring any kind of complicated surgery or genetic modification," said Jiarui Nie, a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institutes of Health who led the research while completing her Ph.D. at Brown. "We believe this technique could potentially transform treatment paradigms for retinal degenerative conditions."

Dispersion hardening using amorphous nanoparticles deployed via additive manufacturing

2025-04-16 - 2025-04

Nanoparticles or precipitates are long used to block dislocations to strengthen metals. However, this strengthening mechanism unavoidably adds stress concentrations at the obstacles, instigating crack initiation that hampers ductility. Here, we demonstrate a strategy that replaces the traditional crystalline dispersions with dense amorphous nanoparticles, which is made possible via laser powder bed fusion. Porosity-free copper-based nanocomposites are demonstrated as a prototype, consisting of densely and uniformly distributed amorphousboron–carbide nanoparticles (~47nm in average diameter, up to 12% volume fraction) via an in situ nanofragmentation and melt-quench process. The amorphous nanoparticles act as dislocation sinks, thereby alleviating local stress concentration. They also self-harden along with tensile deformation, promoting strain hardening and therefore homogeneous plastic flow.

In a new study, scientists have mapped out the molecular mechanisms behind the widespread formation of these tiny plastic fragments. Since plastic first entered the market 75 years ago, its use has become nearly universal—and so has the presence of nanoplastics.

The same properties that make plastic durable and flexible also make it susceptible to breaking down into nanoscale pieces. This breakdown is especially common in the 75-80% of plastics classified as semicrystalline polymers. The research was led by Sanat Kumar, Michael Bykhovsky, and Charo Gonzalez-Bykhovsky, professors of Chemical Engineering at Columbia Engineering.

If you look at a piece of plastic through a powerful microscope, you’ll see alternating layers of hard material and soft material. In the hard layers, plastic molecules are rigidly organized in strong crystal structures. In the soft layers, the molecules lack structure and form a soft, amorphous mass.

Smoltek Hydrogen Has Been Recognized in Chemical Engineering – Nanofiber Technology Shows Dramatically Increased Catalytic Activity

2025-04-10 - 2025-04

This press release is an English version of the previously published Swedish version, which has interpretive precedence.

Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB (publ) (“Smoltek” or the “Company”) announces that its subsidiary Smoltek Hydrogen was recently featured in the internationally renowned industry journal Chemical Engineering. In the article, the company's nanofiber technology is highlighted as a solution with the potential to increase the catalytic activity in electrolyzers and which at the same time uses 95% less iridium with maintained activity - a breakthrough with great relevance for green hydrogen production and other sustainable energy applications.

Smoltek Hydrogen is proud to have been recognized by the well-known American trade journal Chemical Engineering, which in its April issue published an extensive article about the company's unique technology for greatly reducing the amount of iridium in PEM electrolyzers.

“The fact that Chemical Engineering is noticing us and contacting us for an interview confirms that we are addressing a very critical problem to produce fossil-free hydrogen, namely the shortage and cost of iridium. It also proves that our solution is unique and significant for future energy solutions”, says Ellinor Ehrnberg, CEO of Smoltek Hydrogen.

Chemical Engineering is one of the world's most respected publications in chemical and energy engineering. It reaches decision-makers, engineers and developers working on future energy solutions, including electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen.

The article, titled ”Nanofibers dramatically increase catalytic activity for ultra-low-iridium electrolysis,” describes how Smoltek Hydrogen’s proprietary porous transport electrode (PTE) enables up to a 95 percent reduction in iridium content, without compromising the performance of the electrolyzer cell. Smoltek Hydrogen's solution means that iridium is deposited directly onto an electrically conductive material (the porous transport layer), instead of onto a plastic membrane, which requires only a a very thin layer of iridium. In addition, Smoltek's proprietary carbon nanofibers enable an up to thirty-fold increase in catalytic surface area – an innovation that no other player on the market can match.

The Role of Nanotechnology in Plant Genome Editing

2025-04-09 - 2025-04

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more precise and adaptable systems to deliver gene-editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9, RNA, and DNA.1,2

Nanotechnology offers a promising alternative. Nanoparticle-based delivery can enhance efficiency, bypass species-specific barriers, and work across a wider range of crops.

But how exactly does nanotechnology enable more effective genome editing, and what are the practical implications

How Nanotechnology is Used in Genome Editing
Several types of nanoparticles have been used to deliver gene-editing tools.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used due to their biocompatibility and ease of functionalization. AuNPs can bind to nucleic acids, protect them from degradation, and facilitate their delivery into plant cells. They have been successfully used for small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery, achieving high gene knockdown efficiency in various plant species.3,4

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)—both single-walled and multi-walled—are another promising nanocarrier. They are small, strong, and can penetrate plant cell walls.

Functionalized CNTs have been used to deliver DNA plasmids into plant cells, enabling transient gene expression. They can also electrostatically adsorb small RNA molecules, providing stability and enhancing cellular uptake while reducing off-target effects.5

Lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs) are particularly effective for CRISPR/Cas9 delivery due to their high payload capacity, self-assembly properties, and ability to encapsulate ribonucleoprotein (RNPs).

Liposomes, a type of LNP, can be engineered with cationic lipids to facilitate the adsorption of negatively charged genetic material, such as sgRNA and Cas9 mRNA. This approach enhances genome-editing efficiency while minimizing toxicity and immune responses in plant cells.

Improving rapid tests: DNA nanotechnology boosts sensitivity of test strips

2025-04-08 - 2025-04

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, pretty much everybody is familiar with this technology: paper-based rapid test strips, also called lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs). They enable easy detection of biomarkers that indicate the presence of specific pathogens or states of health.
Now a research group led by Heini Ijäs, Maximilian J. Urban, and Tim Liedl from LMU Munich has managed to significantly improve such tests using a cutting-edge nanotechnology called DNA origami.

In DNA origami, DNA is folded—akin to the Japanese art of paper folding—to create nanoscale structures of virtually any shape. In this case, the researchers engineered a nanoscale amplifier substantially boosting the sensitivity of LFIAs.

Squeezing tissue with ultrasound for drug delivery

2025-04-03 - 2025-04

Conventional methods of ultrasound-driven drug transport use heat or cavitation. In contrast, the squeezing interstitial fluid via transfer of ultrasound momentum (SIF-TUM) method is purely mechanical. SIF-TUM uses ultrasound to compress tissue and generate an interstitial fluid stream. When the ultrasound is turned off, the tissue recovers and the stream backflows, creating a fluid motion that can be used to transport drugs and other nanoparticles.

Whereas previous studies investigated this technique theoretically, Ren et al. experimentally demonstrated SIF-TUM, employing the technique to mechanically drive interstitial fluid and transport nanoparticles in ex vivo animal tissues.

They found that the velocity of the transported nanoparticles depends more on the properties of the tissue than on the ultrasound strength. For example, nanoparticles moved about 8.75 times faster in porcine muscle than in chicken breast. This is due to the structural differences of these types of tissue and highlights the potential use of SIF-TUM for controlled drug distribution in dense tissues, such as tumors.

“This non-thermal, non-invasive approach could overcome major limitations in nanomedicine, such as poor penetration in tumors,” said author Baohong Yuan. “By experimentally confirming SIF-TUM, we bridge theory with real-world applications, paving the way for safer, more efficient drug delivery and imaging strategies that are adaptable to different tissue types.”

Supercomputer Modeling Reveals Critical Shape Changes in Nanoparticle Seed Formation

2025-04-02 - 2025-04

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have developed a new method for effectively modeling seed particles composed of 100–200 atoms using a supercomputer. They found that the temperature and solvent composition had unexpected effects on the shapes of these microscopic particles. Interestingly, adding or removing just one atom can sometimes lead to a significant change in the particle's shape.

Radioactive gold nanoparticles could track drug distribution in the body

2025-04-01 - 2025-04

Gold nanoparticles are promising vehicles for targeted delivery of cancer drugs, offering biocompatibility plus a tendency to accumulate in tumours. To fully exploit their potential, it’s essential to be able to track the movement of these nanoparticles in the body. To date, however, methods for directly visualizing their pharmacokinetics have not yet been established. Aiming to address this shortfall, researchers in Japan are using neutron-activated gold radioisotopes to image nanoparticle distribution in vivo.

The team, headed up by Nanase Koshikawa and Jun Kataoka from Waseda University, are investigating the use of radioactive gold nanoparticles based on 198Au, which they create by irradiating stable gold (197Au) with low-energy neutrons. The radioisotope 198Au has a half-life of 2.7 days and emits 412 keV gamma rays, enabling a technique known as activation imaging.

“Our motivation was to visualize gold nanoparticles without labelling them with tracers,” explains Koshikawa. “Radioactivation allows gold nanoparticles themselves to become detectable from outside the body. We used neutron activation because it does not change the atomic number, ensuring the chemical properties of gold nanoparticles remain unchanged.”

RNA interference and nanomedicine join forces to fight dangerous fungal infections

2025-03-27 - 2025-03

Fungal infections are on the rise globally. According to a study by the Manchester Fungal Infection Group, in 2022, approximately 6.5 million people were infected by a pathogenic fungus, and about 3.8 million died as a result—nearly twice as many as in 2012. Even with medications, known as antifungals, the mortality rate for invasive infections caused by the mold Aspergillus fumigatus is as high as 85%. As resistant fungal strains increase, treatment becomes more difficult, and new therapies are urgently needed.
The study, published in the journal Nanoscale and highlighted on the back cover, demonstrates that this RNAi approach shuts down vital fungal genes, thereby inhibiting pathogen growth—a groundbreaking step in the development of new antifungal therapies.

Nanotechnology Revolutionizes Breast Cancer Treatment
