Nanoparticles of gold can act as tiny, precise and powerful heaters, which potentially could be used in biomedical applications, according to a new study. view more (2006-03-31)
Gold nanoparticles prove to be hot stuff
Gold nanoparticles are highly efficient and sensitive "handles" for biological molecules being manipulated and tracked by lasers, but they also can heat up fast-by tens of degrees in just a few nanoseconds-which could either damage the molecules or help study them. view more (2006-09-01)
Magnetic atoms of gold, silver and copper have been obtained
An international team led by Physics and Chemistry teams from the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and directed by Professor Jose Javier Saiz Garitaonandia, has achieved, by means of a controlled chemical process, that atoms of gold, silver and copper - intrinsically non-magnetic (not attracted to... view more...
