Medically relevant nanoparticles move faster in cells than expected

Finding has large implications for applications in nanomedicine such as targeted drug delivery and intracellular studies

10-Jan-2024 - An experiment led by a team of DESY and Universität Hamburg scientists has discovered that gold nanoparticles can move through liquid biological matter faster than expected when coated by the polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG). The team’s data, which were acquired using X-ray photon correlation ...
