New technology uses gold nanorods to sterilize surgical implants
Medicamente
Chalmers University of Technology Oct 29 2024 In the fight against antibiotic resistance , a new technology developed at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, can be of great importance when, for example, hip and knee implants are surgically inserted. By heating up small nanorods of gold with near-infrared light (NIR), the bacteria are killed, and the surface of the implant becomes sterile. The researchers are now presenting a new study that increases the understanding of how the gold
