Farnaz Niroui looks at an array of gold nanoparticles suspended in water in her lab in a cleanroom in the MIT.nano building in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Mon., Sept. 19, 2022. Niroui is an Assistant Professor in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and her research, according to her group website, "pushes the limits of nanoscale engineering." Niroui and graduate student Spencer Zhu have developed a new method of nanoparticle "printing" which allows them to collect and arrange single nanoparticles using a liquid interface. The nanoparticles in these vials are largest in the leftmost vial, which gives a golden color to the water. The particles get progressively smaller and have different shapes proceeding down the vials to the right, which gives different color appearances to the liquid. Each vial contains on the order of hundreds of millions of gold nanoparticles.
