Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2025) - Sona Nanotech Inc. (CSE: SONA) (OTCQB: SNANF) (the "Company", "Sona") is pleased to announce the successful completion of bacterial ...

Researchers have developed a rapid, solvent-assisted laser technique to assemble gold nanorods into ordered patterns on glass, enabling high-performance plasmonic structures for sensing and ...

It has been demonstrated that the gold nanorods and the patterned near-infrared laser can stimulate neurons in other parts of the nervous system, such as the brain or sciatic nerves.

Gold, laser goggles, and a camera: it's an unlikely combination that could one day be used to restore vision in people with retinal damage, according to researchers. In a new study published in ...

When someone receives an implant such as an artificial hip, there's a real risk of an infection occurring at the implant site. According to a new study, however, a covering of bacteria-frying gold ...

If the temperature of these nanorods exceeds 120 degrees Celsius, they lose shape, transforming into spheres and losing their ability to absorb NIR light effectively. To ensure temperature accuracy, ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a new technology to enhance sterilization of surgical implants, especially hip and knee replacements. The technique leverages ...

The gold nanorods themselves are completely passive on the surface before the NIR light heats them. Only then are the rods activated, becoming hot and triggering the antibacterial effect.

Efficient Poly-Adenine-Tailed DNA Functionalization of Gold Nanorods for Tailored Nanostructure Assembly ...

Preventing or clearing ice build-up on surfaces is a major winter problem, as some areas are currently experiencing. Scientists at KAIST have now developed a new thin film coating made of gold ...

"The gold nanorods get hot when they're lit, heating the gel, and they're also responsible for color formation. So, you don't need separate heating elements," he says.
