Abstract:
The Properties of material is determined by the space
available for their electrons to undergo their characteristic motion. This
space ranges from 1-100 nm for the different materials around us. If the
material size changes below its characteristic size, its property changes and
becomes new material and its property become sensitive to further changes in
size or shape. The important new properties of metallic Silver and Gold having
nanometer sizes will be discussed. Their new optical and photothermal
properties will be detailed and used in detecting, treating and following the
dynamic properties of alive cancer cells and as they die.
