Golden collaborations between biology and nanotechnology
Gold is valuable – but that's not news, its renaissance is. What gold is able to do for us in the role of the most stable elemental nanoparticle – in the field of biology, assisted by nanotechnology, is remarkable. We're only starting to scratch the surface – with applications in drug delivery and bacterial transformations, amongst others. Arnab Chakraborty summarizes two recent studies in this promising field.
