N2 - Nanoparticles (NPs) are a new class of advanced materials with sizes ranging from 1 nm to 100 nm. They have special physicochemical properties that are very different from those of bulk materials. For example, metal nanoparticles smaller than 5 nm show remarkable quantum size effects, which endow them with peculiar physical and chemical properties. The superlattices of metal nanoparticles exhibit novel electronic and optical properties that are not present in the isolated particles. The sizes of the nanoparticles are close to those of biomolecules, which allows an integration of nanotechnology and biotechnology, leading to major advances in multiplexed bioassays [1–3], clinical therapies [4], ultrasensitive biodetection, and bioimaging [5,6]. Moreover, nanoparticles can be used as building blocks for the fabrication of micro/nanoscale constructs with highly ordered architectures. © 2007 Springer
