Scientists from the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), in collaboration with researchers from Advanced Centre for Treatment Research & Education in Cancer, Tata Memorial Centre (ACTREC) and Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B), have developed a novel one-step colloidal synthesis method for fabricating PEGylated semi-shells (SS) with nano-cup morphology at room temperature.

The novel one-step colloidal synthesis method for nanoparticles with a unique shell structure with nano-cup morphology that is partly covered with polyethylene glycol (PEG) can help with photothermal therapy (PTT) t...
