Most synthetic nanoparticles are quickly cleared in the bloodstream before reaching tumors. But researchers have shown how polymer shells can be used to cloak nanoparticles in the bloodstream and prevent them from being taken up by the immune system and liver — the body’s primary screeners for removing harmful intruders from circulation.
Researchers from Brown University have developed a new alloy catalyst that both reduces platinum use and holds up well in fuel cell testing. This result is significant because the cost of platinum is high, which is holding back the widespread use of eco-friendly hydrogen fuel cells in cars, trucks and other vehicles.

Scientists have developed micron-sized spheres to catch and destroy bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic chemical used to make plastics. While BPA that seeps into food and drink is considered safe in low doses, prolonged exposure is suspected of affecting the health of children and contributing to high blood pressure.
