New article by Dalzon et al. in Environmental Science: Nano

Silver nanoparticles are known to strongly affect biological systems, and numerous toxicological studies have investigated their effects. Most of these studies examine the effects immediately following acute exposure. In this work, we have conducted further investigation by studying not only the acute, post-exposure response, but also the cellular response after a 72 hour-recovery-phase post exposure. Read More

New article by Veronesi et al. in ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces

Many attempts have been made to synthesize cadmium-free quantum dots (QDs) using nontoxic materials, while preserving their unique optical properties. Despite impressive advances, gaps in knowledge of their intracellular fate, persistence and excretion from the targeted cell or organism still exist, precluding clinical applications. In this study, we used a simple model organism (Hydra vulgaris) presenting a tissue grade of organization to determine the biodistribution of indium phosphide (InP) based QDs by X-ray fluorescence imaging.

New article by Motellier et al. in Environmental Science & Technology

Investigating the transport of engineered nanoparticles through representative soils is an important issue in assessing their mobility and fate in the environment. In this study, successive injections of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were performed in a quartz sand column with an eluent... Read More

Workshop - synchrotrons de 4ème génération - 16/17 septembre, Paris

Plusieurs centres de rayonnement synchrotron dans le monde réfléchissent actuellement à une évolution basée sur de nouveaux concepts d’accélérateur. Ces évolutions permettent une augmentation importante de la brillance, avec un fort gain en cohérence et une émittance extrêmement réduite. Ce workshop abordera les perspectives de ces évolutions.
