Researchers Use NMR to Determine Whether Gold Nanoparticles Exhibit "Handedness"
Researchers Use NMR to Determine Whether Gold Nanoparticles Exhibit "Handedness" - Carnegie Mellon University's Roberto R. Gil and Rongchao Jin have successfully used NMR to analyze the structure of infinitesimal gold nanoparticles, which could advance the development and use of the tiny particles in drug development. Their approach offers a significant advantage over routine methods for analyzing gold nanoparticles because it can determine whether the nanoparticles exist in a both right-handed and left-handed configuration, a phenomenon called chirality.
