Worms dine on nanoparticles to help test biological force sensor technology

A biologist and a materials scientist have teamed up to unravel the biological forces at play within our bodies. The first phase: feeding nanoparticles to worms.

Nanohyperthermia softens tumors to improve treatment

Researchers have successfully softened malignant tumors by heating them. This method, called nanohyperthermia, makes the tumors more vulnerable to therapeutic agents.
