Friends of the Earth (FoE) do not like nanoparticle-based sunscreens.  This has been evident for some years – back in 2006 the organization published the report Nanomaterials, Sunscreens and Cosmetics: Small Ingredients, Big Risks, and every year since then they have had something to say on the subject. This year’s web-based piece leaves now doubt about FoE’s stance on nanotechnology-enabled sunscreens.  ... Read More »

[CURITIBA] Un medicamento usado para tratar las úlceras gástricas y adaptado mediante el uso de nanotecnología, mostró alta eficacia en el combate de la leishmaniasis visceral. Utilizando principios de la nanotecnología, los investigadores desarrollaron una nanoformulación a base de nanoliposomas, minúsculas vesículas de lípidos que transportan el fármaco con mayor precisión a la célula infectada. La microscopía electrónica muestra al ... Read More »
