Researchers have found that instead of using toxic chemicals to product gold nanoparticles, they can use cinnamon.
Gold nanoparticles have the potential to detect tumors, search for oil, light the streets and cure diseases.
“Our gold nanoparticles are not only ecologically and biologically benign, they also are biologically active against cancer cells,” said Kattesh Katti, a professor of radiology and physics at the University of Missouri School of Medicine.
