Interest in branched colloidal gold nanosystems has gained increased traction due to the structures' outstanding optical and plasmonic properties, resulting in utilization in a broad range of imaging, catalytic, and therapeutic techniques.

We report the phase diagram for the binary creatine–citric acid mixture which features a stable and broad eutectic region.

Tunable gold nanostars were synthesized through the reduction of gold salt by an aminosugar, N-methyl-D-glucamine, in a seed-less synthesis. The particle morphology and size was facilely tuned through adjustments in...
