Gold Nanoparticles Advance Bioluminescence

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
TAINAN, Taiwan, Nov. 8, 2010 — Gold nanoparticles can induce luminescence in leaves, which could lead to more environmentally sound LEDs, researchers in Taiwan report. The discovery, led by Dr. Yen-Hsun Su of the Research Center for Applied Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, has captured the attention of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the largest organization in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences. The paper, written by Dr. Yen-Hsun Wu, has been accepted for publication in the journal Nanoscale; he has also been interviewed by the academic magazine Chemistry World. “The light-emitting diode has...Read full article
