Read moreEngineers turn the stickiness of gold nanoparticles into an advantage
One property of gold nanoparticles stands in the way of many nanotechnological developments: They're sticky. Gold nanoparticles can be engineered to attract specific biomolecules, but they also stick to many other unintended particles - often making them inefficient at their designated task. MIT researchers have found a way to turn this drawback into an advantage.

Damit die Dosis eines Medikaments kuenftig so niedrig wie therapeutisch moeglich gehalten werden kann, sollen die Wirkstoffe in Zukunft direkt zum Zielort im Organismus transportiert und dort erst freigesetzt werden. Dafuer sollen sie in Nanopartikel eingeschlossen werden, die ihre Fracht nur bei einem bestimmten pH-Wert, einer definierten Temperatur oder unter anderen spezifischen Bedingungen freigeben.
