Gold nanoparticles fabricated using new ecofreindly process
17 March 2008Presently nanoparticles are being produced using various man made chemicals and some of the chemicals are toxic to humans and at the same time have potential to damage environment. Dr Kattesh Katti, Scientist at University of Missouri has recently come up with a new method to fabricate gold nanoparticles using gold salt, water and soybeans.
As the new technique do not require any synthetic chemicals, this environmental friendly technique has opened new dimensions for fabricating various nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles are being explored for various applications throughout the world including detection and treatment of cancer, for electronic devices, for treatment of certain eye diseases and for the development of green automobiles.
Dr. Kattesh Katti, professor of radiology and physics in the scool of medicine and college of arts and science at Missouri University claims that the process only uses naturally available materials and this new discovery will have far reaching impacts in nanomedicine. Professor Katti has already done a lot of works in the areas of medicine at MU and his new discovery will benefit thousands of cancer patients across the globe.
