Orally administered zinc gluconate spontaneously assembles into protein-coated zinc oxide nanoparticles in human blood. These nanoparticles efficiently target renal tumours, where they enhance ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers explored the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using the extract of Padina pavonica, a brown algae. They ...

A team of horticulturists from Nankai University in China has discovered a surprising solution: zinc oxide nanoparticles. They say that spraying a zinc oxide nanoparticle solution on rice plants ...

A zinc oxide nanoparticle has a diameter of 32 nm. The diameter of a zinc atom is 0.28 nm. Estimate how many times larger the nanoparticle is compared to a zinc atom. A cube-shaped nanoparticle ...

It combines aluminium microparticles with zinc oxide nanoparticles suspended in a specially formulated silicone oil. By selecting and optimizing the size and shape of these particles, the thermal ...
