Making Nanoparticles in Cells

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MUNICH, Germany, June 29, 2009 – Tailor-made nanoparticles that can be used as position lights on cell proteins have been realized by scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. According to the group, this discovery could one day lead to applications in light sources for display screens or for optical information technology. The researchers produced cadmium sulphide particles in microscopically small membrane bubbles. Depending on which of the construction manuals they follow, the particles can be 4 or 50 nanometers in size. Because the membrane bubbles have the same size as living cells, the...Read full article
