In this collaborative work with the research group of Prof. Mark S. Workentin at the University of Western Ontario (Canada), we coupled the power of molecular design and chemical synthesis with the world of nanomaterials and developed the first gold nanoparticles capable of reacting with a specific molecule among others, based on carefully tuned reaction kinetics.
