Spanish researchers combined nanotechnology and photonics to improve the effectiveness of medical meshes in surgical implants. Powered by light, nanoparticles killed any disease-causing bacteria that might cause a dangerous infection in the mesh. Medical meshes help a surgery patient recover faster after an operation that removed, repaired or replaced damaged tissue in his body. A mesh holds … Continue reading Study: Light and nanotech can prevent bacterial infections caused by medical implant surgeries
You’re golden: Researchers look at gold nanoparticles for improved cancer detection
When it comes to cancer, early detection can often mean the difference between life and death. One of the most promising developments in cancer detection can be found in nanotechnology, and gold nanoparticles in particular could prove to be a life-saving tool. Nanoparticles are already used in certain types of medical screenings and tests, but gold is … Continue reading You’re golden: Researchers look at gold nanoparticles for improved cancer detection
