Nanopinion: Hybrid metrology approach for nanomaterials characterization – case study on sequential infiltration synthesis
Read the latest Nanopinion by Dr Eleonora Cara and Dr Federico Ferrarese Lupi. They introduce sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) to produce innovative nanomaterials and discuss the hybrid metrology approach for the multidimensional characterization of nanomaterials and its potential applications across various industries.
Nanomaterials and health
Are substances in nanoforms more dangerous than they are in their normal size? Some are and some are not. Just like any other chemical substance, nanomaterials have to be assessed separately.
Nanomaterials are not only used in consumer products, but also in new and innovative medical treatments. Research has shown that nanoparticles can be used to damage and even destroy cancer cells from within.
