Taking medications on time, in the right dose and for the prescribed duration can be challenging for patients, and failure to do so comes with steep costs, causing 10% of hospitalizations and billions ...

A team of University of Waterloo researchers has created smart, advanced materials that will be the building blocks for a future generation of soft medical microrobots. They published their results in ...

Overview of hydrogel-based direct EV isolation and fabrication and porosity characterization of meso–macroporous hydrogel particles. Credit: Nature Nanotechnology (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41565-025-02011 ...

A study published in Nature Nanotechnology introduces an innovative approach to mitigating alcohol intoxication using a single-site iron-anchored amyloid hydrogel (FeSA@AH). This nanozyme-based ...

Researchers developed a self-healing hydrogel that restored neural function and improved symptoms in rats with Parkinson's-like disease. (Nanowerk News) Parkinson’s disease is a progressive brain ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Microrobots, tiny machines typically measuring less than a millimeter in size, have the potential to revolutionize various fields, from medicine and environmental monitoring to ...

Novel nanocolloidal hydrogels form nanoparticles of methacryloyl-modified biopolymers. The nanocolloidal hydrogels exhibit tunable mechanical properties, nonswelling behavior, excellent biodegradation ...

The sol-gel process is a widely used method for synthesizing nanoparticles with precise control over size, shape, and composition. This method converts a liquid precursor, or "sol," into a solid gel ...

A nanotechnology-based drug delivery system developed to save patients from repeated surgeries has proved to have unexpectedly long-lasting benefits in lab tests -- a promising sign for its potential ...
