Precisely tuning the spacing between iron oxide nanoparticles optimizes their magnetic interactions to enhance MRI contrast, offering a simpler path to better imaging agents. (Nanowerk News) Magnetic ...

Magnetic nanoparticles are a class of nanomaterials that exhibit magnetic properties at the nanoscale. These particles, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size, are composed of magnetic ...

Manganese oxide nanoparticles (Mn 3 O 4 NPs) were synthesized and modified with an LHRH-targeting peptide or anti-melanoma antibodies (cancer-targeting moieties), as well as an MMP2 cleavable peptide ...

Researchers have developed a new nanoparticle that can 'hitch a ride' on immune cells, or monocytes. Because of its tiny size, the particle can tag along directly into lymph nodes and help metastasis ...

Magnetic nanoparticles exhibit a range of physical properties due to their small size and unique structure. Understanding and harnessing the physical properties of magnetic nanoparticles is essential ...

University of New Mexico researchers studying the health risks posed by gadolinium, a toxic rare earth metal used in MRI scans, have found that oxalic acid, a molecule found in many foods, can ...

New magnetic nanoparticles in the shape of a cube sandwiched between two pyramids represent a breakthrough for treating ovarian tumors and possibly other types of cancer, according to the Oregon State ...
