Scientists track nanoparticles to see how the tiny materials can affect our surroundings RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK Deep inside Duke Forest, 32 alternate universes sit in quiet rows. They look identical – each with a puddle, some land, a few plants. But wholly imperceptible to the naked eye, these plots have distinct and important differences. The realms, known as mesocosms, house ... Read More »

Are you eating nanofoods? While it might sound like the latest diet trend among anorexics, the term refers to the use of nanotechnology – particles as small as a billionth of a meter – in food. And there’s a chance that you’re already eating them. Nanofoods fall into four categories. First, and most obviously, there’s the use of nanotechnology directly ... Read More »

An expert at University of Reading, UK, is examining the use of nanotechnology to restore skin’s youthfulness. Collagen growth has long been seen as the ultimate prize for makers of anti-ageing skin cream. Now there is a clue to how an ingredient in some anti-wrinkle treatments may stimulate this growth and restore skin’s elasticity. Ian Hamley is trying to find ... Read More »
