The gold - iron oxide core - shell
nanorods may be useful in cancer
therapy, with MRI imaging enabled by the iron oxide shell, and local heating created by the photothermal effect on the gold
nanorod core killing cancer cells.
«This characteristic makes gold
nanorods attractive for use in catalysis, security materials and a range of biomedical applications, such as diagnostics, imaging, and cancer
therapy,» says Joe Tracy, a materials science and engineering researcher at NC State who is senior author of a recent paper on the improved technique.
