New discovery reveals fate of nanoparticles in human cells

Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have uncovered what happens to biomimetic nanoparticles when they enter human cells. They found that the important proteins that make up the outer layer of these nanoparticles are degraded by an enzyme called cathepsin L. Scientists now have to take this phenomenon into account and overcome this process to ensure that the exciting field of nanomedicine can progress.

New NIST nano-ruler sets some very small marks

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a new ruler, and even for an organisation that routinely deals in superlatives, it sets some records. Designed to be the most accurate commercially available "metre stick" for the nano world, the new measuring tool-a calibration standard for X-ray diffraction-boasts uncertainties below a femtometre. That's 0.000 000 000 000 001 metre, or roughly the size of a neutron.
