By heating up small nanorods of gold with near-infrared light (NIR), the bacteria are killed, and the surface of the implant ...

Nanorods are elongated nanostructures with a diameter in the nanometer range and an aspect ratio (length-to-width ratio) greater than one. They are typically characterized by their unique optical, ...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are nanoscale particles of gold, typically ranging in size from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). These nanoparticles exhibit unique physical, chemical, and optical properties that ...
