• degree in nanoparticle size control was achieved very early. This is demonstrated by the famous Lycurgus cup, that changes color due to directional light scattering combined with adsorption by the nanoparticle plasmon resonances, or the colorful windows in the facades of medieval cathedrals. Therefore

• -generated nanoparticles without artificial ligands In order to review nanoparticle size control strategies, gold nanoparticles were chosen as they are an excellent reference material for toxicological studies. Due to their exceptionally high stability concerning surface oxidation, gold nanoparticles do not
