Researchers identify and investigate the characteristics of gold nanoparticles in two plants

Chinese researchers confirmed the presence of gold within two different plants found in the wild. An article in Science Daily stated that wild samples of ramie (Boehmeria nivea) and horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) absorbed artificial gold nanoparticles from external sources. Gold has been found in other plants before. A species of alfalfa was even cultivated so […]

Isolated magnesium shows all the promise of its gold and silver cousins with none of the drawbacks

Texan researchers have successfully synthesized an isolated form of plasmonic magnesium nanoparticles, an article in Nano Werks has reported. Not only do these tiny particles possess the same plasmon-emitting capabilities as their gold, silver, and aluminum equivalents, but they also avoid the pitfalls of their more expensive counterparts. The new nanoparticles are the handiwork of […]
