NIST Scientists Quantify Nanoparticle-Protein Interactions (ThomasNet)
Research team at NIST has quantified interaction of gold nanoparticles with proteins found in human blood, an approach that should be useful in development of nanoparticle-based medical therapies and for better understanding the physical origin of toxicity of certain nanoparticles. Team found that once proteins stick to nanoparticles, optical properties of both particles and... »
Small optical force can budge nanoscale objects (Science Daily)
With a bit of leverage, researchers have used a very tiny beam of light with as little as 1 milliwatt of power to move a silicon structure up to 12 nanometers. That’s enough to completely switch the optical properties of the structure from opaque to transparent. (read on…) Related items Small Optical Force Can Budge Nanoscale Objects... »
