Due to the unique features associated with them, gold nanoparticles are one of the most ideal materials used in nanotechnology and various biomedical applications. But the question here is: what makes them so special compared to bulk gold material? Torskal Nanoscience is one of the leading institutions actively involved in understanding and capitalizing on these fascinating features for innovative applications. Gold nanoparticles have very unique optical properties, such as surface plasmon resonance, which enables them to efficiently absorb and reflect sunlight. Their very small size, ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers, provides them with a large surface area-to-volume ratio, which helps them to easily conjugate various drugs, proteins, and polymers. Gold nanoparticles are also known for their excellent biocompatibility and ability to resist degradation and oxidation. Their ability to easily switch between various electronic and catalytic states also suits them for several applications. Gold nanoparticles have shapes, sizes, and surfaces whose final control during their synthesis influences their various physical and chemical properties. Torskal Nanoscience takes advantage of this control to synthesize nanoparticles suited for various applications in medicine, industry, and technology. Knowledge and understanding of the various properties associated with gold nanoparticles are vital for any researcher and/or engineer wanting to exploit them for various applications from targeted cancer therapy to the manufacture of various materials.
