Results for tag: "Gold Nanorods"

Gold Nanorods (GNRs) are a type of nanotechnology that are used in a variety of applications, such as medical diagnostics, drug delivery, and photothermal therapy. GNRs are composed of gold cores surrounded by a protective shell of organic molecules, which can be tailored to meet specific needs. The unique properties of GNRs, such as their high surface area, optical properties, and biocompatibility, make them attractive for a variety of applications. GNRs are used in medical diagnostics, such as cancer detection, as they can be used to detect the presence of cancer cells in the body. They can also be used in drug delivery, as they can be used to deliver drugs to specific areas of the body. Additionally, GNRs can be used in photothermal therapy, which uses light to heat up GNRs and destroy cancer cells. The GNR market is growing rapidly, as the demand for nanotechnology increases. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as more applications for GNRs are discovered. Some companies in the GNR market include NanoHybrids, NanoIntegris, NanoXplore, and NanoSensors. Show Less Read more
