Nanoscale

Cut through a sheet of Bacterial Cellulose and you find an entire hidden world — a sprawling fibrous metropolis, with its builders still roaming the streets. Nature's own nanofactory, caught mid-construction.

Curcuminoid-based crystallised compound deposited onto SiO2 through sublimation. When this sample was analysed under the MO (50x), I could only gawk with awe: the kaleidoscope of green and pink crystals blooms forming a gradient along the picture undeniably evokes the picturesque "Antoni Gaudí" art.

Curcuminoid-based crystallized compound deposited onto SiO2 through sublimation. Under the MO (20x), in a certain region of my sample (which I do not want to recall), the crystal shapes can remind us of a dragon flying near the Sun if you stare at it with a tipsy mindset.

When studying our particle on a mirror system in the Raman set-up, we came across this beautiful volcano resulting from the agglomeration of some nanoparticles.

Slice of a new flexible material for chemical processing.

Polymeric fibers composed of drug-loaded nanoparticles serve as a platform for formulating solid dosage forms. The drug used presents a pharmaceutical challenge due to its low water solubility; therefore, the use of these fibers helps increase the drug's solubility and bioavailability in the body.
