“…Due to their diverse abilities to react differently in the environment, various types have been employed in a variety of applications, including pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, electronic devices, paints, catalysts, and solar cells. [3][4][5] Some NM research work with regards to agriculture revolve around plant stress reduction, disease prevention, plant growth increment, and fertilizer. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Metal and metal oxide NM are among the materials that have recently captured the attention of researchers in the agriculture eld.…”

“…As the particle size gets smaller, the surface-to-volume ratio gets larger and leads to an increase in the rate of any reactions which take place on the surface of the materials as more surface atoms are subject to reaction. Moreover, as particles become smaller, the extent of particles on the surface increases similar to those inside, which results in extraordinary properties for the as-prepared materials [3][4][5]. In addition, as the size of the nanomaterial decreases, quantum effects start to regulate the behaviour and inherent properties of the materials.…”

The development of nanomaterials with therapeutic and/or diagnostic properties has been an active area of research in biomedical sciences over the past decade. Nanomaterials have been identified as significant medical tools with potential therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities that are practically impossible to accomplish using larger molecules or bulk materials. Fabrication of nanomaterials is the most effective platform to engineer therapeutic agents and delivery systems for the treatment of cancer. This is mostly due to the high selectivity of nanomaterials for cancerous cells, which is attributable to the porous morphology of tumour cells which allows nanomaterials to accumulate more in tumour cells more than in normal cells. Nanomaterials can be used as potential drug delivery systems since they exist in similar scale as proteins. The unique properties of nanomaterials have drawn a lot of interest from researchers in search of new chemotherapeutic treatment for cancer. Metal sulfide nanomaterials have emerged as the most used frameworks in the past decade, but they tend to aggregate because of their high surface energy which triggers the thermodynamically favoured interaction. Stabilizing agents such as polymer and microgels have been utilized to inhibit the particles from any aggregations. In this review, we explore the development of metal sulfide polymer/microgel nanocomposites as therapeutic agents against cancerous cells.

A fast and accurate experimental method is demonstrated to assess the fraction of exsolved metallic nanoparticles using magnetic measurements. As a benchmark, nanometric metallic nickel exsolved from (La1−xSrx)(Cr1−yNiy)O3−δ is used for its high relevance as a solid oxide fuel cell component. The method is based on the difference in the magnetic response of the exsolved metallic nickel (ferromagnetic) and Sr‐doped lanthanum chromite ceramic matrix (paramagnetic). The exsolved nickel results in coherent nanoparticles pinned on the surface of the Sr‐doped lanthanum chromite ceramic matrix, as evidenced by electron microscopy analyses. The results obtained indicate the procedure as a fast and sensitive method to study the exsolution of ferromagnetic nanoparticles.
