"Surface Science: Changing the coating on silver nanoparticles alters the toxicity to mouse cells
To understand the toxicity of nanoparticles, most scientists have focused on the materials' metal cores. But now researchers have shown that the chemicals that decorate silver nanoparticle surfaces can change their toxicity (Langmuir, DOI: 10.1021/la2042058)."
