The spherical gold nanoparticles can be replaced with
more complex shaped nanomaterials — such as hollow nanoparticles,
nanorods, or nanotubes — to render a better absorption of near - infrared light to penetrate biological tissues.
Tiny particles known as
nanorods may make cooking utensils

The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that rod - shaped nanoparticles — or
nanorods — as opposed to spherical nanoparticles, appear to adhere
more effectively to the surface of endothelial cells that line the inside of blood vessels.
The studies demonstrate that
nanorods with a high aspect ratio attach
more effectively to targeted cells compared with spherical nanoparticles.
For the future, Lin envisions
more complex nanocrystals with multifunctional shells and additional shapes, including
nanorods and so - called «Janus» nanoparticles that are composed of biphasic geometry of two dissimilar materials.
To make these applications possible, the team is exploring ways to make
more of its
nanorods spray water.
