Gold nanoparticles, so incredibly tiny they can't be seen by the naked eye, are used in electronics, healthcare products and as pharmaceuticals in some cancer treatments. Unfortunately, the positive applications of gold nanoparticles come with a downside -- producing the nanoparticles requires extremely toxic chemicals and harmful acids. And, because the nanotechnology industry is expected to produce large quantities of nanoparticles in the immediate future, serious concerns are being raised over the environmental impact of the global nanotechnological revolution and its current need for toxic materials. But now University of Missouri (UM) scientists have found a way to make "green" nanotechnology by replacing almost all of the toxic chemicals required to make gold nanoparticles. How can this be accomplished? By using a spice found in most kitchens -- cinnamon. Read more...
