Summary
| Description |
English: Transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of a star-shaped gold nanoparticle described in doi:10.1002/jrs.2084.
Original caption: "NIST scientists found that gold and silver nanostars improved the sensitivity of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) 10 to 100,000 times that of other commonly used nanoparticles. These uniquely shaped nanoparticles may one day be used in a range of applications from disease diagnostics to contraband identification. Color added for clarity" |
