(Nanowerk News) Take a pill, or get a shot? Given the choice, most people would likely go for the former. Cornell researchers have found a way to potentially administer C'Dots – ultrasmall fluorescent ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- A class of ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles developed at Cornell is showing an unexpected ability to rally the immune system against melanoma and dramatically ...

Cornell Prime Dots, also called C’Dots, are ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell hybrid silica nanoparticles that have been thought to only be effective when administered intravenously. However, recent ...

Nanoshells are a class of nanoparticles consisting of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin metallic shell, typically made of gold or silver. The core material is usually silica or a polymer, while ...
