Introduction The safe-by-design of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) for any application requires a detailed understanding how the particles interact with single cells. Most studies are based on two-dimensional, uniformly dense cell cultures, which do not represent diverse and inhomogeneous environments found in situ . In-vitro models that accurately tissue complexity, including realistic densities, essential to increase predictive accuracy cell-NP interactions. This study uses bioprinted...
Introducing particles as additives, specifically engineered nanoparticles, in the food industry has improved properties. Since 2014, alongside presence of these added particles, there been a mandatory requirement to disclose if those additives are nanomaterials ingredient list products. However, detecting and characterizing is time-consuming due their small sizes, low concentrations, diverse matrices. We present streamlined analytical process detect silica titania food, applicable for...
1D helical nanowires from “supramolecular low-bandgap polymers” facilitate the formation of photocharges induced with a low-power white-light source. The in this nanoscopic confinement exhibit extraordinarily long lifetimes order many hours, which gives rise to delocalized and mobile charges at high concentrations close metal insulator threshold. These systems show macroscopic photoconductivity charge transport properties similar strongly doped organic semiconductors, thus provide valuable...
