Nanorobots with a spiral motor

A group of Israeli and German researchers managed to create a nanomotor, which is not only the smallest in the world, but also due to its spiral shape allows nanorobots not to get entangled in protein molecules.

A new method of treating Parkinsonism or a mind game?

A dopamine-loaded liposome bound to a gold nanoparticle releases dopamine under the action of laser pulses. This technology works "in vitro", but will it be possible to put it into practice?

"Stealth nanoparticles" for cancer diagnosis and drug delivery

Scientists have synthesized nanoparticles that are similar in structure to viruses. Such objects are "invisible" to the immune system and in the future may be useful in the diagnosis of cancer and the treatment of a number of diseases.

Nanoclay instead of catgut

Applying an aqueous solution of nanoparticles to the edges of deep wounds of the skin and internal organs provides almost instantaneous "gluing" of damage, stopping bleeding and rapid wound healing without visible scar.

Better than natural

A hydrogel based on synthetic collagen binds platelets and activates them, promotes their aggregation. This significantly accelerates the stopping of bleeding, and at the same time not the slightest signs of inflammation are detected.
