New article about light injection of gold nanoparticles into cells published in Nano Letters

06.02.2015

New article in Nano Letters: In this paper, we show that single gold nanoparticles can be injected into the cells through a combination of plasmonic heating and optical force. The injection of nanoscopic objects into living cells with light offers promising prospects for the development of novel molecular delivery strategies or intracellular biosensor applications.
