When designing a nanoparticle-enabled drug delivery system, many intersecting considerations must be taken into account, such as the target location of the drug payload, the method of delivery, uptake ...

Materials with porous features that have been particularly ordered on the nano-scale have key applications in drug delivery systems, diagnostics, optics, cosmetics, catalysis, coatings, bio-separation ...

The most widely available materials of the Earth's crust include natural silica and silicates, which are primarily crystalline. Because of their excellent biocompatibility, heat resistance, low ...
