Accumulation of nanoparticles in “jellyfish” mucus: a bio-inspired route to decontamination of nano-waste
The economic and societal impacts of nano-materials are enormous. However, releasing such materials in the environment could be detrimental to human health and the ecological biosphere. Here we demonstrate that gold and quantum dots nanoparticles bio-accumulate into mucus materials coming from natur...
