MeSH definition : Nanometer range spherical cores of particular semiconductor compounds surrounded by
an ultrathin metal shell that is commonly made of gold or silver. This configuration
gives the nanoshells highly tunable optical properties. They have potential in biomedicine
for diagnosis and therapy.;
MeSH synonym : metal nanoshells; nanoshells, metal; nanoshell; metal nanoshell; nanoshell, metal;
