#SJSU #MossLanding Marine Laboratories has conducted testing for heavy metals:
"...unusually high concentrations of heavy-metal #nanoparticles... at Elkhorn Slough... following the recent fire at the nearby #Vistra Power Plant's li-ion battery storage facility... within a radius of approximately 2 miles... measured a dramatic increase (hundreds to thousand-fold) of the three heavy metals Nickel, Manganese and Cobalt."

Safely removing nanoplastics from water using 'Prussian blue', a pigment used to dye jeans
Prussian blue, a metal-organic frameworks-based substance made by adding iron (III) chloride to a potassium ferrocyanide solution, is the first synthetic pigment used to dye jeans a deep blue color and has recently been used to adsorb cesium, a radioactive element, from Japanese nuclear plant wastewater.

Preprint alert! Our lab developed targetable #DNA origami #nanoparticles, which we then image throughout the entire (transparent) mouse body using #lightsheet #microscopy.
Our DNA origami were able to target immune cells, as well as a subset of cancer metastases in the lung.

Nanoplastics Are Entering Our Bodies
https://socialistproject.ca/2023/07/nanoplastics-are-entering-our-bodies
The air is plasticized: minuscule plastic fibers, fragments, foam, & films shed f. plastics are perpetually floating into & free-falling on us f. the atmosphere. Rain flushes micro/nanoplastics back to Earth.
Wind & storms carry microplastic particles through the air for dozens, even 100s of miles before depositing them back on Earth.
New nanoparticles can perform gene editing in the lungs
A Potential Method to Treat #Osteoarthritis by Nano-Engineered System for Delivery... | Researchers have created 2-dimensional mineral #nanoparticles to deliver treatment in the body for cartilage #regeneration Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease which affects 630 million people...
Since I don't have any spectacular experiment today, an oldie for #FluorescenceFriday One of my first tries to assemble CdSe/CdS #nanoparticles at the liquid gas interphase! We never got really nice #SelfAssembly but it was a fun time in the lab still! #chemiverse #chemistry
Hi all, a little #introduction from me
I'm a new Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology at UCL Chemistry #London
My group develops methods to control nucleic acids (#DNA #RNA) and synthetic cells (#synbio) with stimuli, like light, temperature and magnetism - we use all sorts of chemistries like #photocages, #polymers, and #nanoparticles
I will also toot about parenting, #coeliac disease, and things I find funny!
