The book which includes one chapter written by members of the DaNa-Project was published at CRC Press. The content is summarized as “The use of nanoparticles in medicine, industrial, and other applications has triggered an interest in their potential. This book explores the use of nanoparticles related to their occurrence in the environment, their impact […]

The OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN) has recently published several new reports in its Series on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials, focusing on guiding principles for measurements of physical-chemical parameters, a physical-chemical decision framework and updates of the developments from the delegations. The purpose of these reports is to provide up-to-date information on […]

  At the beginning of 2019, the “METALSAFETY” project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) was launched as part of the new “NanoCare 4.0 – application-safe material innovations” funding measure. The overall scientific objective of the MetalSafety project is the development of concepts for the toxicological evaluation and grouping of […]

End of February 2019, the Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut e.V. (STFI) hosted the kick-off meeting of the BMBF CarboBreak project. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the framework of the new funding measure “NanoCare 4.0 – application-safe material innovations”.   The aim of the project is to improve the […]

The JRC, in close collaboration with researchers from the French CEA, Swiss EMPA, US NCI-NCL and Irish Trinity College, has developed a common strategy for measuring the particle size distribution of nanomedicines. A quick preliminary step to assess sample integrity and stability by low resolution techniques is followed by the combination of complementary high resolution […]
