When function is biological: Discerning how silver nanoparticle structure dictates antimicrobial activity

Summary: Silver nanomaterials have potent antibacterial properties that are the foundation for their wide commercial use as well as for concerns about their unintended environmental impact. The nanoparticles themselves are relatively biologically inert but they can undergo oxidative dissolution yiel...
