NANOTECHNOLOGYIn a world where road safety for cyclists is never guaranteed, this piece of recent research is quite alarming: in a survey of over 560 participants, 30% viewed cyclists who were wearing helmets as "less than fully human." Peculiarly, the research showed that cyclists simply wearing a hat were viewed as more human than those wearing a full helmet.
Scientists investigate the potential of ion irradiation as a platform in allowing the control of nanoparticle growth. Find out more about it in this article.
Raw materials are necessary in industrial production, and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are no exception. Their significant characteristics, including high crystallization and strength, low density, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, necessitated their industry use. Consequently, CNCs are helpful in medicine, pharmacy, foodstuffs, and electronics.
