A team of researchers from Brown University has developed a new nanotechnology-based approach that could improve treatment of fungal infections, particularly those caused by the increasingly drug-resistant Candida species.

Northwestern Medicine investigators have developed first-of-its-kind eyedrops that use synthetic nanoparticles to help the eye regenerate cells that have been damaged by mustard keratopathy, or exposure to mustard gas, and other inflammatory eye diseases, detailed in a recent study published in the journal NPJ Regenerative Medicine.

The team successfully generated two bubbles measuring about 10 micrometers in diameter that spontaneously vibrate at sub-megahertz frequencies, investigating how their vibrations affect each other. Using this apparatus, the researchers were able to precisely control the fast movements of bubbles at sub-megahertz frequencies as well as the surrounding flow.

A team of Brown University researchers has identified a promising new approach that may one day help to restore vision in people affected by macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.

“There’s a lot of promise with the nanoparticle systems we’ve been developing, and we’ve been really excited more recently with the succe...

Researchers have identified exactly what happens when a microbe receives an electron from a quantum dot
