Determining the nanotoxicity of engineered nanomaterials is critical as the expansion of nanotechnology continues. In this interview, we discuss the development of the first protocol for research ...

As complex new materials such as nanoparticles increasingly make their way into commercial products, regulatory frameworks need to overcome a number of key challenges to remain fit for purpose. Does ...

At present, ecotoxicological research focuses primarily on controlled laboratory studies involving cell cultures or model organisms. One of the major critiques here is the use of unrealistically high ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Assessing the environmental and human health implications of engineered nanomaterials requires an understanding of the potential exposure routes (read more: "Toxicology - from ...

Intentional nanomaterials are deliberately engineered to perform specific functions, such as drug delivery or enhanced durability in composites. Incidental nanomaterials are produced unintentionally, ...
