At present, there is an urgent need in medicine and industry to develop new approaches to
eliminate bacterial biofilms. Considering the low efficiency of classical approaches to biofilm …

The present review covers developments in studies of nanomaterials (NMs) in the
environment since our much cited review in 2008. We discuss novel insights into fate and …

Microbial cells (ie, bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes) in oceans secrete a diverse array of
large molecules, collectively called extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) or simply …

This contribution critically reviews the state of knowledge on interactions of natural colloids
and engineered nanoparticles with natural dissolved organic materials (DOM). These …

Anisotropic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have attracted the interest of scientists for over a
century, but research in this field has considerably accelerated since 2000 with the synthesis …

The use of nanoparticles in consumer products, for example, cosmetics, sunscreens, and
electrical devices, has increased tremendously over the past decade despite insufficient …

Gold nanoparticles have been used in biomedical applications since their first colloidal
syntheses more than three centuries ago. However, over the past two decades, their …

While nanoparticles occur naturally in the environment and have been intentionally used for
centuries, the production and use of engineered nanoparticles has seen a recent spike …

Pollution by metal and metalloid ions is one of the most widespread environmental
concerns. They are non-biodegradable, and, generally, present high water solubility …

This review summarises and evaluates the present knowledge on the behaviour, the
biological effects and the routes of uptake of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to organisms, with …
