How Gold Nanoparticles Can Be Used to Kill Bacteria Image Credit: Shutterstock/ TAW4 Researchers have identified the physical mechanism that allows gold nanoparticles to effectively kill bacteria. The finding could lead to wider applications in the medical field. It has been understood for some time that certain nanoparticles can kill bacteria, but the mechanism that causes this has, thus far, been something of a mystery. This hasn't stopped nanoparticles from being adopted as an antibacterial agent in biomedical, industrial, and commercial applications. But a better understanding of this a...
