‘Like a fishing net,’ nanonet collapses to trap drug molecules
EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern University researchers are casting a net for nanoparticles. The team has discovered a new, rapid method for fabricating nanoparticles from a simple, self-assembling polymer. The novel method presents new possibilities for diverse applications, including water purification, diagnostics and rapidly generating vaccine formulations, which typically require many different types of molecules to…
