Iron based nanoparticles are everywhere in soils, rivers, wetlands, and groundwater. Although invisible to the naked eye, these tiny particles help ...

Researchers at UC San Diego have discovered that iron-containing nanoparticles being tested for use in several biomedical applications can be toxic to nerve cells and interfere with the formation of ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Today, approximately 1,800,000 acres of land in the United States is used for landfill waste disposal. In terms of volume, the U.S alone generated over 290 million tons of solid ...

Creating sustainable water management systems that are both ecologically and economically viable is essential since access to clean and safe water is a basic human right. One of the key elements of ...

A new, specially coated iron oxide nanoparticle developed by a team at MIT and elsewhere could provide an alternative to conventional gadolinium-based contrast agents used for magnetic resonance ...

Researchers have found a way to convert acid mine drainage — mining most toxic byproduct — into ferric chloride, a widely ...

A new study from ETH Zurich reveals that tiny iron nanoparticles bound to oat protein nanofibrils nearly double absorption rates in women, offering a clean, plant-based solution to one of the world’s ...

New research offers a simple, low-cost solution for cleaning dye pollution from water. Scientists combined iron particles ...

ETH researchers are developing a new form of iron supplementation based on oat protein nanofibrils and iron nanoparticles. An initial clinical study in humans shows that iron administered in this way ...

For many years two companies located in Bizkaia, Bilbao Chemicals (Barakaldo 1947-1987) and Nexana (Erandio 1952-1982), had been manufacturing lindane and dumping it into the environment with no ...
