biomedical, forensic and environmental sciences 1− 4 as well as in anti bioterrorism …

General principles and recent developments in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)
are reviewed. The “in situ” Turkevich-Frens and Brust-Schiffrin methods are still major …

Nanoparticles are an essential component in the emerging field of nanomedical imaging
and therapy. When deployed in vivo, these materials are typically protected from the immune …

In the last 30 years we have assisted to a massive advance of nanomaterials in material
science. Nanomaterials and structures, in addition to their small size, have properties that …

Inorganic colloidal nanoparticles are very small, nanoscale objects with inorganic cores that
are dispersed in a solvent. Depending on the material they consist of, nanoparticles can …

Nanoscience includes the study of objects and systems in which at least one dimension is 1-
100 nm. The objects studied in this range of sizes are larger than atoms and small …
