Researchers Examine Nanotechnological Methods For Improving Agriculture (Courier)

"When nanoparticles are injected into the bloodstream, many components of the blood stick onto the surface of the nanoparticles. The various proteins sticking to a nanoparticle's surface make it look different.

"The task then becomes figuring out what proteins or other molecules will stick to the surface and where the particle will go as a result. A nanoparticle designed to move toward a certain organ may have its destination altered by white blood cells that detect the particle's surface proteins and send it to a different organ.

Why the IRS Plans on Adding a 28% Tax on NFT Collectibles

"According to section 408(m) of the federal tax code, a collectible is a tangible personal property like a work of art, rug, antique, metal or gem, stamp or coin, or alcoholic beverage. This means that if a look-through analysis for an NFT certifies the ownership of a physical asset like a gem, it would be regarded as a collectible. However, if the NFT certifies the right to land, this wouldn't be considered a collectible.

"To clarify (or convolute) this further, virtual land, such as metaverse property, isn't regarded as a collectible, according to the IRS. This means that some utility tokens could be immune from scrutiny. Which begs the question, what do you own when you buy an NFT?"

It's a hefty tax that could hit your favorite NFTs.
