UCF nanoparticle discovery opens door for pharmaceuticalsOrlando FL (SPX) Aug 09, 2012 What a University of Central Florida student thought was a failed experiment has led to a serendipitous discovery hailed by some scientists as a potential game changer for the mass production of nanoparticles. Soroush Shabahang, a graduate student in CREOL (The College of Optics and Photonics), made the finding that could ultimately change the way pharmaceuticals are produced and delivered. The discovery was based on using heat to break up long, thin fibers into tiny, proportionally sized seeds, w ... read more |
