Nanobubbles in vase water inhibit transpiration and prolong the vase life of cut chrysanthemum flowers.

Nanobubble (NB) water has been shown to promote the growth of several types of plants and animals, but the mechanism underlying this promoting effect remains unclear. The present study evaluated the mechanism by which NBs maintain the freshness of cut flowers by keeping cut chrysanthemum ( Ramat.) flowers at the bud stage in vase water containing air NBs.

Structural control of magnetite nanoparticles for hyperthermia by modification with organic polymers: effect of molecular weight.

Hyperthermia treatment using appropriate magnetic materials in an alternating magnetic field to generate heat has been recently proposed as a low-invasive cancer treatment method. Magnetite (FeO) nanoparticles are expected to be an appropriate type of magnetic thermal seed for this purpose, and the addition of organic substances during the synthesis process has been studied for controlling particle size and improving biological functions. However, the role of the properties of the organic polymer chosen as the modifier in the physical properties of the thermal seed has not yet been comprehensively revealed.
