Imagine tiny particles smaller than the width of a human hair made from iron and a plant called Parietaria alsinifolia. These aren't just any particles—these are nanoparticles, and they're being made in a way that's kind to the environment. Scientists used extracts from Parietaria alsinifolia to cre
