Episode 30: Dr. George Schatz on the Mystery of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles

Many of us are familiar with stained glass and the beautiful translucent colors that display breathtaking artwork. Would you ever imagine that these colors are the result of nanoparticles? On this episode of Let’s Talk Chemistry, hosts Yeongseo Son and Bella Liguori talk about their interview with Dr. George Schatz, a Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University. We talk about plasmonic nanoparticles, the development of Raman spectroscopy, and photocatalysis. We hope you enjoy!
