Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem around the world, with multiple strains of bacteria now showing adaptations designed to increase their protection against the drugs that have been formulated to kill them. One such pathogen is Helicobacter pylori, which, according to current data, is carried by around 4.4 billion people worldwide, although it is most common in … Continue reading Scientists study nanocapsules in the search for an antibiotic-free approach to superbugs
The shocking reason why Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine requires storage at -70C … because it contains experimental nanotech components that have NEVER been used in vaccines before
You’re seeing the reports all over the news: Pfizer’s new coronavirus vaccine requires storage at -70C (-94F), which is much colder than the North Pole. If it’s not stored at this temperature, its ingredients begin to break down and it fails to work. Currently Pfizer is claiming, without evidence, that its vaccine is “90% effective.” … Continue reading The shocking reason why Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine requires storage at -70C … because it contains experimental nanotech components that have NEVER been used in vaccines before
Researchers look to nanopores for new water treatment methods
For a while now, scientists have been looking into the use of nanomaterials as a way to clean water. The idea is that nanofilters made from these materials would be able to remove even the smallest impurities and contaminants in water. In a recent study published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry, a team led by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute … Continue reading Researchers look to nanopores for new water treatment methods
Scientists use nanoparticles as an alternative propulsion method for small spacecraft
Propellant is one of the most important things that any spacecraft needs to carry – without it, a spacecraft will be unable to move or change course. This is why spacecraft tend to carry a lot of it on board. Carrying propellant, however, brings its own set of problems. Not only is the chemical highly flammable, … Continue reading Scientists use nanoparticles as an alternative propulsion method for small spacecraft

Study: Light and nanotech can prevent bacterial infections caused by medical implant surgeries
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
Green and clean: Energy-efficient water purification system developed by scientists
Chinese researchers debuted a new photocatalytic disinfectant for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in water. Made from incredibly thin sheets of graphitic carbon nitride and powered by light instead of electricity, the new disinfectant offered an environment-friendly approach to water purification. In trials, it reportedly purified samples of heavily-contaminated water in just half an hour. It also killed nearly all of the microorganisms … Continue reading Green and clean: Energy-efficient water purification system developed by scientists
