LIT UPDATE - Gold Nano Contact Lenses for Color Blindness!


Listen Later

Welcome to a LIT UPDATE!

How can gold nanoparticles be used in contact lenses? And why?

Today's research:

Salih, A. E., et al. (2021). "Gold Nanocomposite Contact Lenses for Color Blindness Management." ACS Nano 15(3): 4870-4880.

Showcases that the gold NPs can be used to mitigate color vision deficiencies! Truly amazing what nanotechnology can do!
