Antifungal activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles against Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum
TLDR
Results show that ZnO NPs at concentrations greater than 3 mmol l(-1) can significantly inhibit the growth of B. cinerea and P. expansum, and suggest that the substance could be used as an effective fungicide in agricultural and food safety applications.About:

Zinc oxide nanoparticles induce oxidative DNA damage and ROS-triggered mitochondria mediated apoptosis in human liver cells (HepG2)
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that HepG2 cells exposed to 14–20 μg/ml ZnO nanoparticles for 12 h showed a decrease in cell viability and the mode of cell death induced by Zn O nanoparticles was apoptosis, and apoptosis was found to be independent of JNK and p38 pathways.

Ultrasensitive Chemical Analysis by Raman Spectroscopy
TL;DR: The spontaneous Raman effect, in the following simply called Raman scattering, is focused on, which can be applied noninvasively under ambient conditions in almost every environment and has special importance for ultrasensitive Raman spectroscopy at the singlemolecule level.

Metal Oxide Nanoparticles as Bactericidal Agents
TL;DR: In this paper, reactive magnesium oxide nanoparticles and halogen (Cl2, Br2) adducts of these MgO particles were allowed to contact certain bacteria and spore cells, which yield insight into the biocidal action of these nanoscale materials.

TL;DR: The results confirmed that E. coli cells after contact with DEG and ZnO were damaged showing a Gram-negative triple membrane disorganization, which causes the increase of membrane permeability leading to accumulation ofZnO nanoparticles in the bacterial membrane and also cellular internalization of these nanoparticles.

Enhanced bioactivity of ZnO nanoparticles?an antimicrobial study
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the bactericidal efficacy of ZnO nanoparticles increases with decreasing particle size, and it is proposed that both the abrasiveness and the surface oxygen species of ZNO nanoparticle promote the biocidal properties of ZngN nanoparticles.
