Green Nanoparticles Synthesized for CT Imaging Applications

Pulsed laser ablation in liquid media (PLAL) is a green technique that allows the formation of nanomaterials with high purity. It is a physical alternative to traditional chemical methods. In an article recently published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers discussed the preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in Gum Arabic (GA) solution, where laser ablation was used as computed tomography (CT) contrast agent.
