Researchers have developed Nanomeritics, a new approach aimed at strengthening the characterization of nanoparticles. The method is presented as a way to improve how scientists measure and analyze nanoscale materials, a step that could support more reliable research and development across nanotechnology. Details beyond the announcement remain limited, and reaction from the wider scientific community is not yet documented.
- 3X-ray microscopy reveals flow behaviour in nanoparticle suspensions▼Multiscale transitional flow in anisotropic nanoparticle suspensions revealed by time-resolved X-ray scatter microscopy
Researchers have used time-resolved X-ray scatter microscopy to reveal multiscale transitional flow in anisotropic nanoparticle suspensions, according to a study published in Nature. The technique captures how these suspensions behave across different length and time scales as they transition between flow regimes. Findings could inform work on complex fluids in materials science and industrial processing.

Researchers report that nanoparticles made from a single material can perform multiple biomedical functions at once: heating cells, protecting them and delivering stimulation. The finding could simplify the design of nanoparticles for medicine, where combining several materials is usually required to achieve heat therapy, cellular protection and stimulation in a single platform.
