          In a groundbreaking study, the Journal of Nanotechnology has 
published a study that found silver nanoparticles kills HIV-1 and is likely to 
kill virtually any other virus. The study, which was conducted by the 
University of Texas and Mexico University, is the first medical study to ever 
explore the benefits of silver nanoparticles, according to Physorg. 
           
          During the study, researchers used three different methods of 
limiting the size of the silver nanoparticles by using capping agents. The 
capping agents were foamy carbon, poly (PVP), and bovine serum albumin (BSA). 
The particles ranged in size from 1 to 10 nanometers depending on the method of 
capping. After incubating the HIV-1 virus at 37 C, the silver particles killed 
100% of the virus within 3 hours for all three methods. The scientists believe 
that the silver particles bonded through glycoprotein knobs on the virus with 
spacing of about 22 nanometers in length. 
           
          While further research is needed, researchers are optimistic that 
nanological silver may be the silver bullet to kill viruses. The researchers in 
the study said that they had already begin experiments using silver 
nanoparticles to kill what is known as the super bug (Methicillin resistant 
staphylococcus aureus). Already used as a topical antibiotic in the medical 
industry, silver may now come under consideration as an alternative to drugs 
when it comes to fighting previously untreatable viruses such as the Tamiflu 
resistant avian flu.
