Melanoma is a fast-progressing skin cancer characterized by a high mortality rate after metastasis. Local chemotherapy could ...

A team of research scientists led by US Food and Drug Administration chemist Timothy Duncan has found evidence of silver nanoparticles embedded in packaging used as an antimicrobial agent seeping into ...

the leaching of silver particles from PV waste is challenging. To overcome this, the researchers proposed a combined base-activated persulfate and ammonia, with persulfate acting as an oxidizing ...

Anthocyanins, found in berries, red cabbage and purple carrots, provide the deep reds, purples and blues we associate with ...

When someone consumes silver particles, the metal moves from the gut into the bloodstream in its ionic form. It's then deposited throughout the body in various tissues, including the skin ...

the research team wanted to know if such particles also find their way into dry foods. To find out, the team created samples of silver nanoparticles and embedded them in polyethylene film wraps ...

New research suggests that silver nanoparticles can leach out of antimicrobial plastic packaging and contaminate solid foods.

The cases above illustrate dramatic instances of the condition known as argyria, in which silver particles accumulate in the body. Silver was once a mainstay in medical treatments for its ...
