The cover story of the most recent edition of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) describes how nanoparticles formed by very small numbers of silver atoms can protect against the cell damage caused by ethanol. The study was led by researchers from the University of Barcelona (Spain) and conducted in conjunction with the Magnetism and Nanotechnology laboratory of the University of Santiago de Compostela.
