Sentences with phrase «uses gold nanorods»

Not exact matches

For example, plain gold nanorods of different lengths may allow effective plasmonic absorption in the near - infrared range for use in solar energy conversion with improved harvesting of solar spectrum.

Both in vivo and in vitro experiments were performed using gel patches with gold nanorods, gel patches without gold nanorods (control 1), and gel patches with gold nanorods but without any form of irradiation (control 2).

The researchers used a combination of transparent gel patches, gold nanorods, and near - infrared (NIR) light to create a unique thermal ablation system for transdermal drug delivery.

Although the test uses gold, the nanorods are very small.

In 2005 researchers at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., created a metamaterial with a negative refractive index in the near - infrared portion of the spectrum using ultrathin gold nanorods 100 nanometers by 700 nanometers to conduct clouds of electrons.

«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.
