Researchers Synthesize Platelet-Like Nanoparticles that Can Do more than Clot Blood

Stanching the free flow of blood from an injury remains a holy grail of clinical medicine. Controlling blood flow is a primary concern and first line of defense for patients and medical staff in many situations, from traumatic injury to illness to surgery. If control is not established within the first few minutes of a hemorrhage, further treatment and healing are impossible.

Charged Gold Nanoparticles Improve Residence Time of Molecules in Nanopores

A research team headed by a professor from Virginia Commonwealth University has succeeded in improving a method used for determining the charge, size and shape of water-soluble molecules. Joseph Reiner, Department of Physics, Assistant professor of experimental nanoscience in the College of Humanities and Sciences and his co-workers have enumerated their discovery in an article "Enhanced Single Molecule Mass Spectrometry Via Charged Metallic Clusters," to be published in the Analytical Chemistry journal.
