Gold Nanoclusters: Atomically Precise Gold Nanoclusters: Towards an Optimal Biocompatible System from a Theoretical–Experimental Strategy (Small 27/2021)

In article number 2005499, María Francisca Matus and Hannu Häkkinen discuss the recent advances for using atomically precise gold nanoclusters for biomedical applications and their advantages over the well-known colloidal gold nanoparticles. The ultrasmall size and monodispersity of gold nanoclusters are key factors for their excellent biocompatibility and show great potential for designing a new generation of nanomaterials for biomedicine.
