The gold particle is 50 nanometers, which is 200, 000 times smaller than an object 1 centimeter in size... By using bio-linkers, the nanoparticles can be designed to affect specific targets. Bio-linkers are special, sticky molecules that are created to link with only certain types of cells. In a biomedical application, a few gold nanoparticles could be used to generate heat to impact a single macro-scale object, such as a tumor cell. 10, record 1, English, - gold%20nanoparticle

A l'échelle nanométrique, les scientifiques ont découvert d'autres propriétés très intéressantes du métal précieux. Les nanoparticules d'or constituent par exemple un excellent catalyseur pour la réaction chimique visant à transformer le monoxyde de carbone (gaz très toxique) en dioxyde de carbone, comme dans les pots d'échappement. Les nano-couches d'or sont aussi employées pour répondre aux besoins de miniaturisation toujours plus poussée des circuits électriques.
