GlossaryGold Nanoparticles

tiny gold particles with unique properties for medical applications

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are tiny particles of gold that are only a few nanometers in size, often ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. They have unique optical, electronic, and chemical properties due to their small size and high surface area, making them useful in various fields such as medicine for drug delivery, diagnostics, and even in treatments for conditions like alopecia.
