Chemically Modified Nanosheets for Biomedical Applications
02 Mar 2023 under Focus
In a recent study, researchers from the Department of Organic Chemistry (OC) and Materials Research Centre (MRC), IISc, show that surface modifications of two-dimensional molybdenum disulphide (2D-MoS2) nanosheets can make them highly effective for applications like delivering drugs to diseased cells. Nanomaterials usually need to be modified or customised depending on the application to improve […]
Novel Nanocomposite for Improved Wastewater Treatment
27 Dec 2022 under Highlights
Industrial effluents containing heavy metals have polluted our water sources for decades. Lead, a heavy metal commonly found in discharge from paint and battery manufacturing plants, is a major water pollutant, and its presence severely affects human and animal health. In recent years, scientists have turned to nanotechnology to develop absorbent materials that can remove […]
