Nanoparticles & Nanomaterials: this week’s news
“Superparamagnetism enable our nanomaterials to create previously unimaginable possibilities,” says Dr. Jérémy Paris, CEO of SON. What is Superparamagnetism? Louis Néel discovered superparamagnetism in 1949 during a study on fired clay and lava (“Theory of Magnetic Drag of Fine-Grain Ferromagnetics with Applications to Fired Clays,” Louis Néel). The work of this Nobel Prize-winning physicist helped […]

Nanomedicine research is experiencing significant growth, particularly in the use of nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Recently, a team of chemists from CNRS made a major breakthrough by exploring nanoparticles in the form of nanoflowers. They demonstrated the potential of iron oxide nanoparticles shaped as nanoflowers (SPION – Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles) for magnetic hyperthermia, an […]

A New Therapeutic Approach Some cancer patients can now benefit from a new therapeutic approach: theranostics. But what exactly is it? This technique combines both the diagnosis and treatment of tumors, offering an integrated and targeted approach. This method allows not only the identification of tumors via imaging but also their direct treatment. It represents […]
Theranostics: a revolution in cancer treatment
R-Nano declarations: time to ensure compliance With every new year come obligatory R-Nano declarations. But what are they? Nanoparticles possess innovative properties that could revolutionise the chemistry and healthcare of tomorrow. And yet, there are concerns about their use. It’s therefore crucial that the use of nanomaterials be closely monitored by public authorities to ensure […]
