Scientists have synthesized silver nanoparticles, which are important to biotechnology, by using strawberry tree leaf extract. The new technology is ecological, simple, cheap and very fast.

Yeasts which cause hard-to-treat mouth infections are killed using silver nanoparticles in the laboratory, scientists have found. These yeast infections, caused by Candida albicans and Candida ...

Fabrics containing engineered nanosilver – used to kill odor causing bacteria in socks and sports clothing – leak fewer silver nanoparticles into the environment when washed than textiles with ...

In one study, silver nanoparticles showed antiviral activity against HIV-1 resulting from their interaction with envelope glycoprotein gp120, preventing CD4-dependent virion binding, fusion, and ...

Since the 1990s, manufacturers have added silver nanoparticles to numerous consumer products to enhance their antibacterial and anti-odor properties. Examples include clothes, towels ...

Silver nanoparticles have a wide array of uses, one of which is to treat drinking water for harmful bacteria and viruses. But do silver nanoparticles also kill off potentially beneficial bacteria ...
