Talk Title : "Re-defining Innovation: Gold beyond Jewellery."
Abstract
The noble metal Gold loses its nobility at the nano and molecular levels. This talk will show a multidisciplinary innovative approach to nano and molecular engineering of gold and their novel application in various fields including hydrogen and mercury sensors as well as molecular designing for cancer treatment. The talk will discuss how gold loses its nobility at the nano and molecular levels. The science of two case studies will be described, one at the molecular level and one at the nano level.
