Green Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles from the Aqueous Extract of Lonicera japonica Thunb and Evaluation of Its Catalytic Property and Cytotoxicity and Antimicrobial Activity

Scientists created tiny copper particles using honeysuckle plant extract in an environmentally friendly way. These particles work well for cleaning dyes from water and killing harmful bacteria and fungi. However, they can be toxic to human cells at high concentrations, so careful dosing is important for medical applications.

Synthesis of Biogenic Hematite Nanocubes as Recyclable Dark Fenton-like Catalysts at Neutral pH and Plant Growth Applications of Degraded Waste Water

Scientists created tiny iron oxide cubes from lemon peel waste that can remove harmful dyes from industrial wastewater at neutral pH without needing UV light. These nanoparticles work as efficient catalysts and can be recycled multiple times. The cleaned water is safe enough to use for growing plants and shows good antimicrobial properties against harmful bacteria and fungi.

Harnessing pycnidia-forming fungi for eco-friendly nanoparticle production, applications, and limitations

Certain types of fungi can produce tiny metal particles called nanoparticles that have useful properties. These fungi-made nanoparticles can kill bacteria, fight cancer cells, clean pollutants from water and soil, and be used in medicines and agriculture. Unlike traditional chemical methods for making nanoparticles, using fungi is cleaner and safer for the environment, though scientists still need to understand more about how they work and ensure they are safe to use widely.
