Little golden rods may prevent implant infections by cooking bacteria
According to a new study, however, a covering of bacteria-frying gold nanorods could keep that from happening. Bacterial infections at the sites of recently installed implants can be very serious ...
Tiny gold radiators ‘fry’ bacteria on medical implants
Scientists have shown that by heating up small nanorods of gold with near-infrared light (NIR), bacteria are killed, and the ...
