Scientists Harness Gold Nanoparticles to Fight Infection Without Antibiotics
New Therapy Fights Bacteria Without Antibiotics Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University have developed a novel technique using sugar-coated gold nanoparticles. When heated by near-infrared lasers, these nanoparticles can both show and destroy biofilms in infected teeth and skin wounds of rats and mice. Biofilms are groups of tiny living things that …
