Green nanotechnology uses living cells to create green nanoparticles in a safe, eco-friendly, and cost-effective way. These nanoparticles are sized between 1 to 100 nm. They play important roles in different fields. Green Nanoparticle Synthesis Green nanotechnology focuses on creating nanoparticles using living cells through biological methods. Plants, rich in stabilizing and reducing agents, are ideal sources for this process. Types of Green Synthesis Extracellular Synthesis: Involves the use of plant extracts outside the cell. Intracellular Synthesis: Involves the use of plant cells or tissues. Phytochemicals: Utilize plant-based chemicals for nanoparticle synthesis. Benefits of Green Synthesis [...]

Gold particles are tiny particles of gold suspended in a liquid. They have special properties due to their very small size and how their surfaces behave. These nanoparticles can absorb and emit light strongly. They are useful in many technologies due to their unique electrical and molecular recognition abilities. Synthesis Methods Chemical Synthesis: They are often made by reducing a chemical called chloroauric acid. This process creates small gold particles. These are stabilized using other chemicals to keep them from clumping together. Biological and Physical Methods: Besides chemicals, they can also be made using biological or [...]

People of all ages have always wanted cosmetics. Today, Green Nanoparticles are very useful for making advanced beauty products. These are called "nano-cosmeceuticals. These tiny particles in cosmetics help deliver ingredients more effectively. It helps the cosmetics to last longer. No doubt that cosmetics work better, but these materials also raise safety and environmental concerns. The utilization of nanoparticles in beauty care products works on the surface of the items. It additionally expands the timeframe for the realistic usability of these skin health management items. For instance, sunscreen products use ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as UV [...]

Colloidal gold has been the subject of much speculation and interest over many years. This elixir consists of gold nanoparticles in liquid; it has been both championed and criticized. But what, really, is colloidal gold, and what are its supposed benefits? Let's dive into myths and realities about this fascinating substance. What is Colloidal Gold? It essentially consists of extremely minute gold nanoparticles that are dispersed into a solution. The particles are so small that they will not settle at the bottom of any liquid, and this makes it quite a characteristic feature of it. Though gold has a [...]

What role do gold nanoparticles play in cancer treatment? Gold nanoparticles are extremely small structural elements made of carbon, metal oxides, organic matter, etc. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter. These are highly 3D organized molecules, with at least one dimension less than 100 nanometer size. Their specialty is that their chemical and physical properties can be greatly changed, i.e. interaction with visible light, making them very useful in various fields. Yes, these are highly active elements used in technological, pharmaceutical and medical, production fields and scientific research. Due to [...]

What role do gold nanoparticles play in cancer treatment? 02 May, 2024 - As published on Fairmined Organization AuNPs or gold nanoparticles are increasingly becoming recognized for possible use in the treatment of cancer. Its unique properties can be put to use in various therapeutic modalities and, in turn, become an important tool in the fight against cancer. Mechanisms of Action of Gold Nanoparticles Photothermal Therapy: The remarkable activity of gold nanoparticles in converting incident light into heat, which is essentially used in photothermal therapy (PTT), is unmatched. When illuminated with near-infrared [...]
