Molecularly-imprinted nanoparticles pave the way for a new generation of antidotes

A US high school teacher and nine of his students have made nanoparticles that can neutralise venom from one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa. These nanoparticles could offer a way to make cheaper and more practical antivenoms.
