How can host-associated microbiota affect the toxicity of nanoparticles? In this guest column, Dr Bregje Brinkmann discusses the direct interactions between microbiota, the host, and nanoparticles. Additionally, she elaborates on the latest research conducted on this subject. 

In our latest guest column, Dr Bentejui Medina-Clavijo and Prof. Andrey Chuvilin take us on a historical journey to explore findings that confirm that when we talk about metals, “smaller is stronger”. They also describe the structure of metals, the latest research on how the friction process between two metals can change their surface properties and how industry can benefit from this.
