A futuristic nanowire device may offer people the possibility of wearable, personal-cooling devices, according to a new study. The devices could be a lifesaver for firefighters, astronauts, soldiers and anybody outside on the hottest summer days, the research team from Penn State write in the journal Advanced Materials. “This low voltage is good enough for […]
Scientists from the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA have developed a nanoparticle delivery system for the antibiotic moxifloxacin that vastly improves the drug’s effectiveness against pneumonic tularemia, a type of pneumonia caused by inhalation of the bacterium Francisella tularensis. The study, which appears in the journal ACS Nano, shows how the nanoparticle system targets the […]
