For DNA-functionalized nanoparticle assembly, a typical far-from-equilibrium system, the entropy-controlled thermal annealing strategy constitutes a traditional and generally adopted way to escape ...

Prof. Liang Haojun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a new method to escape from metastability for self-assembly in a ...

Functionalization is a process of modifying the surface chemistry of nanomaterials by attaching functional groups, molecules, or biomolecules to their surface. This process aims to enhance the ...

In the form of a 'nasal spray', tiny gold particles act as carriers, delivering a treatment directly to the brain: developed by scientists at the Università Cattolica Rome campus/Fondazione ...

Nanoprecipitation, also known as solvent displacement or interfacial deposition, is a widely used method for the synthesis of nanoparticles. It involves the precipitation of a dissolved material from ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...
