✦ Synopsis

Khanal had to find a way to make them soluble in organic solvents that are favoured by industry. Building on Zubarev's previous work in making soluble gold nanorods, the pair found a way to attach hair-like molecules of polystyrene to the surface of the goldplatinum rods. Zubarev and Khanal found the coated particles were easy to remove from solution with a conventional centrifuge.
