India, June 17 -- The Government of India issued the following news release:
Researchers have developed a 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) that can help with photothermal therapy (PTT) to treat cancer.
Conventional fabrication techniques of these so-called semi shells (SS) with nano-cup morphology are multi-step, labour-intensive, or require harsh etching agents like hydrofluoric acid at high temperatures and toxic precursors.
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 res...
