Nanoparticle research is huge. That is, the study of nanoparticles, very miniscule objects that act as a unit with specific properties, is a very popular area of study. With implications in many avenues of science, from biomedicine to laser research, the study of how to create nanoparticles with desirable properties is becoming increasingly important. Maria Benelmekki and researchers in Mukhles Sowwan's Nanoparticles by Design Unit recently made a breakthrough in synthesizing biomedically relevant nanoparticles. They published their findings in the journal Nanoscale.
