Single nanoparticles could pave the way for medicines on demand – Phys.org

For the first time, a single, twisted nanoparticle has been accurately measured and characterised in a lab, taking scientists one vital step closer to a time when medicines will be produced and blended on a microscopic scale.
Physicists at the University of Bath who study materials on the nanoscalethat is, molecules 10,000 smaller than a pinheadmade their groundbreaking observations using a new method for examining the shape of nanoparticles in 3-D. This technique, called the hyper-Rayleigh sca…
