Fabrication of nanoparticles with precisely controllable plasmonic properties as tools for biomedical applications.

ABSTRACT: Metal nanoparticles are established tools for biomedical applications due to their unique optical properties, primarily attributed to localized surface plasmon resonances. They show distinct optical characteristics, such as high extinction cross-sections and resonances at specific wavelengths, which are tunable across the wavelength spectrum by modifying the nanoparticle geometry. These attributes make metal nanoparticles highly valuable for sensing and imaging in biology and medicine. However, their widespread adoption is hindered due to challenges in consistent and accurate nanoparticle fabrication and functionality as well as due to nanotoxicological concerns, including cell damage, DNA damage, and unregulated cell signaling. In this study, we present a fabrication approach using nanoim
