Molecular Lego: Clicking Molecules to Gold Nanoparticles
Faculty Sponsor: Amit Basu
Gold nanoparticles, tiny clusters of gold atoms, have various potential applications in both scientific research and medicine. At present, utilization of gold nanoparticles is limited by the small number of available procedures for particle assembly. Waltrati proposed a new method for conveniently linking any molecules to gold nanoparticles.
