Zinc oxide in EU animal nutrition will be banned again

Brussels continues to tinker with this feed additive, but this time they are behind events. Again, the politicians in the European Union (EU) have decided to meddle with animal nutrition. Right or wrong, this is a reality we have to live with, and, in this case, the European Commission is behind events.https://www.feedstrategy.com/blog/zinc-oxide-in-eu-animal-nutrition-will-be-banned-again/

Nanoparticle exposure can awaken dormant viruses in the lungs

Nanoparticles from combustion engines can activate viruses that are dormant in in lung tissue cells. This is the result of a study by researchers of Helmholtz Zentrum München, a partner in the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), which has now been published in the journal ‘Particle and Fibre Toxicology’. https://nano-magazine.com/news/2017/1/16/nanoparticle-exposure-can-awaken-dormant-viruses-in-the-lungs

Scientist find ways to cut nanoparticle toxicity levels

Bioengineers and biophysicists from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, the Universite de Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France, and the University of Tubingen in Germany have discovered that the toxicity of nanoparticles depends more on their size and the extent to which their surface area is charged than on […]

Behavior of Silver Nanoparticles in Natural Waters

An innovative technique has been recently developed by researchers to study the behavior of silver nanoparticles in natural waters. This breakthrough was made by a research team from the Resolv Cluster of Excellence at Ruhr-Universität Bochum……… https://www.azonano.com/news.aspx?newsID=36603

2D Material Standards – Why We Need Them

As the industries for graphene and hexagonal boron nitride continue to grow and mature, they have reached the stage where it is vital that appropriate standards are agreed upon. This is demonstrated through several companies marketing their products as graphene, when the reality is that they are closer to graphite……… https://www.azonano.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=5003
